🎉 Mark your calendars, Lane County!

We have set Saturday, June 27th as the target Grand Opening date for the new grocery store! This is the date we are working toward with our food distribution company, and while nothing is ever 100% set in stone with a project this big, we are doing everything we can to meet this deadline.

Join us for free food, free prizes, and the opportunity to walk through and check out your brand-new grocery store!

We also want to take a moment to say THANK YOU. So many people have chipped in, donated, volunteered, offered services, shared encouragement, and helped push this project forward.

More information will be coming soon, but for now… save the date! 🛒💚

The sign went up today! 🙌

A BIG thank you to Zach Dowell and Casey Beesley for helping get it hung. Telehandlers sure make tall jobs a whole lot easier!

One more exciting step closer to opening our doors. 🛒

The question everyone keeps asking..."when are you going to open?"

We anticipate opening in June. Interviews for all the applicants will start the first week of May, with hiring completed by May 15th so workers can help set the store and participate in staff training.

❄️The walk-in freezer❄️ has officially been installed, and things are moving fast inside the new store. Next up: two walk-in coolers going in soon.
