Well, we were heading through town and the wife needed milk and bread. I stopped at the Market and when she came out she was not at all happy with the stock, setup or cleanlness of the store, and deli.

Nice folks but except for beer and cigs. they didn't have too much to offer.

I wish them well.

Don't forget Skelly's Market. They have a pretty decent store, they can't cook a pizza throughly worth a damn but they do have an Awesome Potatoe salad. I finally gave up picking up pizza there, because even after repeated requests to "please make sure you cook the pizza throughly" I would always get a droopy half cooked doughy pizza. Enough was Enough !
I can't wait for my first official spring bbq and some of that potatoe salad. Um Um Gooood !!

Certainly one has to have enough operating capital.

But the main item is management. This will ultimately be the deciding factor.

Murphy's Green's Corner has Bill. He has been doing such for decades. Knows his stuff.

Fuller's/Rob's. Nice people but poor managers. Rob knew how to make a good sandwich but not how to run a store here.

I heard through the grapevine this morning that Richard Murphy should be opening the old "Hometown Grocery" in approx. 2 months and it will be sporting an "Irving" fuel sign.
What the store will be called Idon't know.
