The renovations started with the structure; new roof, new
ceilings, and additional refrigeration.
The store has expanded many of their departments to take advantage of
the changing demographics. The focus is
on offering fresh and healthy products.
The Produce Department was overhauled.
The Deli increased from a 12’ case to 50’ of cases, with a full kitchen
and a steam table. In response to the changing
neighborhood there is also a large selection of micro brewed beers and
refillable growlers, as well as a large selection of artisan cheeses and
breads. Spring will see the addition of
a natural Juice Bar, as well as inside and outside seating.
Owners Martin, William, and Nelson took this opportunity to
evaluate their retail system. After
looking at various systems as well as the option of upgrading their current
system, they decided on STCR’s SMS (Store Management Suite). They liked SMS’ ability to do inventory,
promotions, access history and extensive reporting capabilities in a
single-platform all-in-one solution that they can grow with. With a number of their family and friends as
STCR’s customers, they were confident in STCR’s service and support.
