That’s what a grocery store is made of. We
hink that the atmosphere in a food store
should be appetizing, in order to help the
shopper make a better selection of good things
with which to grace the table.
Gone are the days of the coal stove and the
cracker barrel, and in their place has come
an infinitely better time in which your grocer
oeconies an integral part of your food prep
aration.
We make a full time job of selecting the
