WARSAW — The south side of Warsaw once again has a grocery store.
Owen’s Fresh Meat Market has expanded from its first location south of Leesburg to a new store south of Kincade Street on State Road 15 South.
The soft opening began last week with many basic food items, and the company is still adding more display space and cooler space.
The store will soon feature a deli, and a grand opening is expected on July 3rd.
Local shoppers have been clamoring for another choice on the south side since the Marsh grocery store closed nine years ago and the Owen’s store closed seven years ago.
Denitriss McKenzie, who will run the store with Lisa Rector, said the initial reaction has been strong.
“It has been phenomenal — I mean, there are so many people so excited to have a grocery store on this side of town,” McKenzie said.
She said they will be working the Leesburg store to provide specific items normally available in Leesburg.
The store at 1095 Fisher Avenue (SRR 15S) is in the old Kendall Electric building.
It will be open seven days a week, including Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
