The Shelby County Chamber of Commerce & Industry along with Fareway hosted a community open house on Tues., April 18 celebrating the extensive remodeling which
has occurred at the store since last summer.
Attending the event were numerous Fareway Corporate officers including its COO Fred Greiner, who had helped stock the Harlan store for its July 1979 grand opening, CEO Reynolds Cramer and original assistant manager and recently retired from the Fareway Corporate offices Dan Greiner.
Also honored was 22-year employee Jan Wunder who had worked for the Harlan Fareway store when it opened and current employee Patty Stein who started shortly after the store opened and has worked at the Harlan store for 35 years.
Manager Mike Maass said, “The store is brighter, has an incredible array of new items and our 168 feet of stand-up freezers improved customer product visibility,” he said.
Included in the remodeling: organic/health food section, 100’s of new products, an expanded produce and vegetable area, a new aisle for manager’s specials, gluten free and organic products sections. Also new amenities include: new tile floors, lighting, heating and cooling system, inventory storage, coolers, bathrooms, and offices.
The meat department and the cold beer, wine and liquor more than doubled in space. Meat market manager, Kevin Pitkin, said the new 40' meat case and a 28' prepared meats area have gone over very well with their customers.
