IGA

IGA is your typical small town grocer, offering a full line of food products, a full deli, bakery, outdoor plants, a surprising wine and beer selection plus the typical home and personal care essentials. Couple that with unusually late hours, friendly staff who know your name, a decent produce selection complete with a gourmet offering of locally made Esther Price Candies and you’re good to go. The prices seem a little higher than an in-​town store, but it’s a price I am willing to pay for the convenience of having a store very close by in this rural area, and I am happy to support them.
They seem to be one of the last grocers who carry on the tradition of offering a free cookie for the kiddos too (you only have to ask the baker!) which as trivial as it seems, means a lot to us! I remember looking forward to mine as a kid, and am always sad to hear more and more large stores are not carrying on that «good will» tradition of American Grocers of days gone by. I am glad every time I shop at IGA my little son gets to excitedly go to the bakery and pick out a cookie just for him! Small town feel, cannot beat it. Thanks IGA! Don’t change!
