Grocery story opens on Ridge

Following a ribbon cutting the evening of Nov. 18, The Ridge Supermarket is open for business.

The Myers Group, which took only two weeks to remodel and restock the store, moved in after Village Foods IGA moved out. The new store has goods ranging from groceries to vacuum cleaners.
