Next time you're in the store, check out our new retail freezer units on Aisle 2! They are a bit larger, much nicer looking, and we're hoping they give us years of dependable service. We appreciate your feedback.

Our new two-week ad started today, and you can download a PDF of the flyer here. Along with the new ad, we're kicking off a big FREEZER CLEARANCE SALE to prepare for replacing our retail freezer units in Aisle 2. Today through Saturday (1/16), we'll be discounting all frozen foods (except frozen pet food) 25% off regular prices. For any remaining product on Sunday and Monday (1/17 & 1/18) we'll drop prices even further, to 50% off.

Then, starting Monday night, we'll be tearing out the old freezers and installing new units. The process will take most of the week. We're hoping to be able to have our new freezers up and running and full of newly stocked frozen foods by Saturday, January 23. If things go really smoothly, you could even start seeing frozen food for sale on Friday the 22nd. But we need to make sure all the new connections and hardware are operating correctly before we can stock the new units. Thank you for bearing with us during this transition. We apologize for any inconvenience.

On Saturday, January 16, we'll be holding our monthly Gluten-Free Demo Day, with samples and info and questions answered. This event takes place from noon to 4pm.
