Friends,

You have been a big part of our lives at the store and because of that, we’d like to share some news. After nearly thirty years, we’ve decided to sell the store. Owning and successfully running a grocery store is hard work and at this point in our lives, we’d like to take some time for ourselves, enjoy life and yes, RETIRE!

There are two important reasons that our store has been successful over the years: our dedicated staff and our loyal customers. We think that over the years, almost two hundred employees have worked with us. Many of them were high school students working their first job, and I know that the experience gained here has enabled them to go on successful careers. A few employees started with us in the beginning and never left. You know them as friends when you come in; there is a mutual feeling of ‘family’ when they say ‘hello’ and ask how’ve you been? Perhaps our roots are simple: family and community. Then again what is more important?
