Any updates on status of the grocery store?

Only Clarks is open.  They are working feverishly to have the entire store open by next week.  They still have all the necessities, fruits/veggies, ice etc available for sale.  Its just a little bit of a cluster checking out.  BUT, it may not be an issue come next week.  Village Market which was next to BIT, is completely shut down.

An employee at Clarks told me yesterday that sometime on Sat they're going to try and open up the whole store.  The parking lot entrance is still being worked on ... hopefully, they'll get that finished soon!   ... it's kind of a cluster.f navigating the lot in a car if you hit it at the wrong time of day (which will be all day very soon).

Wow! What happened to the Village Market? That was convenient for us campers....

Village Market had to shut down as they could afford the rent anymore.  The folks had owned the store for 30 years.  But the building is being renovated and will be run by the same folks who run the Mountain Village Market, which has super duper high prices.  Clarks is actually shutting down at 3pm today and will reopen tomorrow in the entire space (new and old).

That's horrible that a normal running business can't survive because of big money. Boycott and bring your own food if you can!
