The store is readying a grant opening to start today and run through next Wednesday. Let's all go out. lock Inside . . . Formers Horner in Lindon Remodels, Grand Opening Set for Mar. 24 to 30 Farmers Korner, highway 89 in Lindon, has expanded over the years until now it is a modern grocery store, complete com-plete with meats and a complete com-plete line of grocery items. In addition it has a nice variety of gift items in its gift shop. People going by the store, will probably not think much change has been made, until they go in to shop. From the front, the store doesn't look like it could house the modern store which has been build on the rear of the older structure. The Farmers Korner was originally owned by D. H. and Pearl Fowlke, and evolved from a fruit stand operation into a convenience shopping store and a gift shop. In 1973, the store was sold by the Fowlkes to its present owners, Mary Ann and Tom Swan from Hammond, Ham-mond, Indiana and Liana and Cliff Wallman, from Highland, Indiana. Tom and Cliff were both phone company employees, and they were looking for something to get away from the 8 to 5 routine. They found it, and now they operate a store which stays open from 7 in the morning until 10 at night, seven days a week. The Wallmans have three children, Cliff, 15, Ginny 13 and Robert 10, and the Swans have one daughter, Laura, 12. Both couples and their children are interested in skiing, fishing and hunting, hun-ting, and camping, and in horses and motorcycles. They like Utah very much, and find the people great to live by and to do business with. The all-steel addition to their store was built by Bell Construction, a local firm, and has expanded their once rather small store to a modern facility. Their grand opening will be held from March 24 (today) to March 30, next Wednesday, and if you look on the back page of our paper, you will see that they offer many bargains in grocery and other items, and also will be giving away free samples, free balloons, and some grocery giveaways. It might pay to drop out to Lindon during this week and see what the new store looks like. |
