In addition, there is a freezer/cooler offering groceries, and beer and wine selections. The pharmacy boasts a drive-up prescription window and consultation/immunization privacy room.
“Our mission is to provide customers with convenience combined with superior customer service,” says Jack Holt, owner. “We look forward to becoming a helpful and valuable neighbor to the community, both inside and outside the walls of our store.”
A 6,200 sq. ft. full-line One Stop hardware department is being added and will open in early November. Key product offerings will include paint, lawn and garden, hardware, electrical, plumbing, automotive and home décor as well as niche products such as Valspar paint, Green Mountain Grills, DeWalt, Black & Decker, Stanley, Scotts and more.
