“New in town. Nicely stocked store with a surprisingly wide selection for a small town grocery. I was able to get all my basics plus a few specialty items. Prices are higher than the big box stores, as you would expect, but the extra is well worth it for the savings on gas and the convenience. Service was prompt and friendly-- and no long lines!”
