Grocery store tentatively to open next week in Guernsey

WHEATLAND (WNE) — After only a few short weeks, the grocery store building in Guernsey will once again serve the community with a locally-owned business.

Thrifty Foods owner from Wheatland, Jodi Axford, has been working overtime with help and support from her husband Dwayne (BJ) and First State Bank to make arrangements to purchase the store from Lynn’s Superfoods, which closed its doors unexpectedly in mid-February.

Axford said that barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will be a small grand opening next Wednesday, April 2.

The new store will be called Super Foods and will run very similarly to Thrifty Foods in Wheatland, with an emphasis on providing what the Guernsey community wants and needs.

Axford stated she decided to take this step to open the Guernsey store because she cares for the people in the community and sees their need.

She also pointed out there have been many in the community at large who have stepped up to help provide for the needs of the residents of Guernsey in these last few weeks.
