A wonderful time was had with our get together tonight. Many of our wonderful family of employees were able to share hugs and smiles and catch up on our busy lives since last November. We shared the many stories of how much we miss our community and friends. We miss you and hope that you all stay happy and healthy.

What a wonderful holiday luncheon put on today by the Sidney United Methodist Church in honor of our Sidney Great American Family! We were truly honored by your invite into your home to let us get back together again before the holidays. Your welcoming warmth, love and gratitude for our service to the Sidney community will never be forgotten. Thank you again for the wonderful food and we wish you all the best during this holiday season!

We are at a loss for words. Our Great American Family want to take this moment to say THANK YOU to each and everyone of you who have come out year after year to support our local family owned business. It has been a true pleasure to see your faces, talk with you about anything and everything, just enjoy your company. Sure we were a business trying to make it in this very competitive world, but hopefully we showed you that we cared about you, before we cared about the business. Our last day, was truly just so incredible. The village showing up to send us off with all of your love and hugs meant absolutely everything to us. From the fire trucks, to the music, to the handmade signs….it was all so wonderful. But of course the love is what we will take home with us and remember. Thank you to Erin Insinga for what you did for us, but more so what you do for this community. You are a treasure that we hope we never lose. Thank you to the dedicated volunteers of the Sidney Fire Department who show up with their fire trucks to give us a celebration for our send off! Your dedication to all of us, along with all of our emergency response teams, will never be forgotten. Your incredible dedication to all of us during the pandemic and every other moment will never be lost on us. We THANK YOU for all you do. Thank you to Danny and Brandy O’Connor and the entire board of the Trinity O’Connor Foundation. These people are beyond special. They are beacons of sunshine that deserve your handshake, your hugs. They continue to give back to this community in so many ways that everyone of us should be so proud of. They helped our entire staff of dedicated employees with holiday cheer and a pay it forward gift that can never be repaid. If you have not checked out this very giving and wonderful foundation, do it now. You will be a better person after meeting them and understanding their mission. And thank you to all of the Great American employees now and past employees. You helped build a great legacy of friendly service and a mom and pop feeling in our little hometown. That’s all we wanted. No need for corporate greed and policies here. You needed help with a local fundraiser, needed help with advertising for a dance recital, whatever it might be you were rarely turned down. We wanted to help. We hope that is what your Sidney Great American will be remembered for. Thank you Tri Town Community! You are the BEST! We will miss you but stay strong. You got this!

We have been overwhelmed with the community support from EVERYONE! So many people and businesses reaching out with hugs, cards and gratitude. We already knew how lucky we are to work and live in this wonderful community. But these past three weeks have been so bittersweet. So much love. All of us at your Sidney Great American sincerely thank each and everyone of you for your kind words and respect given to us throughout the years, but especially recently. So many great memories… we have all laughed, we have all cried, but best of all we have all loved.
We will be closing our doors for good this Saturday at noon. But until then stop down and enjoy time with our family and enjoy 25% off of everything except alcohol. We look forward to seeing you again one last time this week.
❤️❤️ Sidney Great American Family ❤️❤️

It is with extreme and great regret, that we have to announce the closing of our Great American store in Sidney. We can no longer continue to service the community the way that we would like to and have for the last 60 years. First as a Victory Market, then Great American and the last 11 as BK Five Great American. We have tried to be an integral part of our community over all of these years. We have helped every non-profit organization and every fundraiser that was possible. One of the few independent grocery stores left, we gave it our all. The everchanging landscape of the grocery business, it's expenses and the extreme competition from corporate giants and online sales has led to this tough decision.
With the closing there are some changes that will be happening starting this Sunday, October 23rd. We will no longer be able to honor our weekly advertisements. The ads were printed before this known closing and could not be stopped from being circulated. We apologize for this but want you to know up front that there will be no more sale items available at our low prices. We also encourage everyone who has a BK Five Great American Gift Certificate to redeem them as soon as possible. We will be staying open into the month of November, but will not honor or be able to redeem them after our final day of business. Our 5% Tuesday senior discount will also be halted starting October 25th. We will no longer be able to accept or cash personal or payroll checks as of Saturday, October 29th. Please make payments for purchases in the form of cash or credit/ebt card after the 29th.
We want to thank each and every Great American loyal shopper who stuck with us over these years. We obviously would not still have been here without you. Every store has their niche. Every store can sell a can of peas. The difference is what we can do for each individual shopper that might stand out. We have continued to sell the freshest quality of meats, produce, deli and bakery products each and every day. Our cuts of meat, our delicious deli subs , our fruit platters, fresh baked Italian bread and store made salads...all have been the cornerstone of what we are, freshness and quality. We have loved being able to bring all of this to you.
The other thing that we have tried to provide is personal and friendly service. Each and everyone of our employees have done an incredible job of trying to get to know you. We have tried to make you feel at home in our home. We are and will always be a family at heart. We have laughed, we have cried throughout these past decades. We will miss each and everyone of you, and hope that you will still see us out and and about in this wonderful Tri-Town Community. To the business leaders of this area, please reach out to us if you are in need of hard working, dedicated people with a smile. We have them here and we know they would like to continue their great work ethic further here in the Sidney and surrounding areas.
Thank you from everyone here at your Sidney Great American.
