IOWA & ILLINOIS - Two additional little red pins are popping up on Fareway Stores’ map of store locations. The company recently hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for its Story City, Iowa, store, in addition to announcing plans to construct a new location in Coal Valley, Illinois.
“Communities depend on a local grocer to offer high-quality products and unmatched service. We look forward to offering these qualities to Story City and area residents with a new Fareway store,” said Fareway Chief Executive Officer Reynolds W. Cramer. “We want to thank city officials and economic development for helping make this project possible.”
The groundbreaking ceremony took place on April 29, beginning the construction of the approximately 10,800-square-foot store. Features of the store will include a selection of high-quality, farm-fresh produce, as well as a full-service butcher counter and other compelling shopping features like FastLanes and curbside pickup.
Details on the anticipated opening date are forthcoming, the retailer stated in a release.
