Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The Owen's Supermarket store at 2211 E. Center St., Warsaw, celebrated the completion of its recent remodeling project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday. The newly remodeled store includes a rear-load dairy, new interior decor, a pharmacy waiting area and the Master Java Coffee Shop, featuring roast green coffee beans to provide connoisseurs with espresso.
The project began April 29 and was completed Aug. 29. The combo store remodeling project has an estimated economic development impact of approximately $1.3 million.
The store is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week operation, which provides a number of specialty departments for the shopper.
The Owen's store on East Center Street, which was built in 1994 and purchased by Kroger in 1998, employs 98 full- and part-time people.
In his opening comments, unit manager Larry McDonald said, "Kroger has been good to us," and thanked customers and employees for their assistance during remodeling.
Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins thanked Owen's for their reinvestment in Warsaw. Larry Easterday, representing the Chamber of Commerce, spoke of Owen's commitment to the Warsaw area and the Chamber.
