We are still not completely renovated but we are keeping our promise to you to get the store open by the end of September! We open Saturday, September 30 at 7am.
Start. Stop. Change courses. Re-think. Re-design. Make exceptions. Be grumpy. Hug. Sleep with your mouth open. Breathe in, breath out. Whew; what a picture we all were. We have all worked 7 days a week 10-12 hour days since July 15 to make this deadline happen. COVID got a few of us along the way, supply chain shortages mucked things up and the old building asked for a lot of TLC. Despite our blurry eyes, we kept a smile on our faces and can’t wait to see you back in!
This is a “soft opening” meaning that not everything will have arrived because orders & deliveries can only happen on certain days and we were just licensed. It will take a week of days to get it all here. Our Grand Opening is next week with everything in place.
Here is what you can expect tomorrow Saturday:
- 8 dozen Brothers Donuts waiting for you when the doors open!
- Hot and iced coffee with free-of-charge flavor pumps. Hot tea too.
- Lots from our own bakery; fresh cookies, scones, muffins
- From our new kitchen; hot breakfast sandwiches, mid-day lunch faire with sandwiches, salads and soup, hummus, paté
- Also from our new kitchen, a take home prepared dinner meal put out in the afternoon
- Milk, eggs, meat, most every grocery item
- Fresh produce from our local farms
- Fresh flowers from Lorrie
- Newspapers
- Multitudes of beautiful art and craft from NH artisans
- A sneak peak of the community art show that will be mounted week
- Public restroom open – YAY Town Center!!
- A couple tables for sitting
What will come next week:
- Beer and wine (Step one is store license-got it- then alcohol license comes followed by delivery from the distributors on their particular day)
- More groceries and dairy
- The Feed Loft seating area will open with full art show
“Great, beautiful, perfect”
