Fareway Stores Inc. hosted a ribbon cutting and grand opening ceremony July 8 for a new store at 930 Commercial St. in Lisbon, Iowa.
Fareway acquired the 18,000-square-foot store from Brother’s Market in March and has since completed a full renovation of the property. The store officially opened for business July 9.
“As Fareway grows, we are committed to serving vibrant communities of varying sizes,” Fareway CEO Reynolds Cramer said. “We’ve spent several months updating the space and training new team members to offer the best in meat and grocery while serving with gratitude.”
Cabin Coffee remains a tenant at the Lisbon location. Customers will find an efficient layout with modern displays at the new-look store, which is equipped with a roof-mounted solar array.
During a large portion of daylight hours, the solar generation is expected to exceed the electrical demands of the store and power will be sold back to a utility company. The solar array will generate an estimated 35 percent of the store’s total annual electrical use.
“As spring signaled the start of a new season, there has been a lot of time and energy by all parties put into this, and to see Fareway in Lisbon become a reality is really exciting for our community and its residents,” said Lisbon City Administrator Brandon Siggins.
“This will not only benefit our community but surrounding communities by attracting visitors to shop here in Lisbon.”
The store will offer customers fresh, high quality meat with a full-service butcher counter, as well as farm fresh produce.
It features FastLanes, a self-service checkout option, and online shopping with curbside pick-up, available at shop.fareway.com. Customers can save $5 off their first online order at the Lisbon location by using coupon code “LISBONFIVE” at checkout, valid through Aug. 2.
