Their mission was to provide their community with a place to buy good quality groceries that couldnt be found in regular supermarkets.Even though this first grocery store was small, the impact of people coming together to provide for themselves and their community was immense. Over the years our store has moved a few times, is now owned by over 10,000 people and has two locations but is still committed to providing the finest quality wholesome foods for our community.
