It's not the prettiest day out today but you
wouldn't know that judging by all the smiling
faces at today's grand opening at Yoder's Market
on the west side of Highway 95 off Plato Lane.
While the doors opened January 16 in Henry and
Verna Yoder's quaint new store, today marks the
official ribbon cutting, and the fun and savings
lasts until 7 p.m.
There is live music by Thad and
Rebecca Huseby from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and you can sample from 45
varieties of cheese stretched out on 16-feet of table,
and enjoy a homemade brownie with a
scoop of ice cream
If you can tell them where to cut a block of
Swiss cheese si it comes to within two ounces of
the weight you want, your chunk of
cheese is free, and there are prize giveaways, a duck
pond from which you can pick a rubber duck and
marked on the bottom with discounts from five to
100-percent and more.
Yoder's Market is a true Bonners Ferry success
story, having started out in a former
convenience store on the South Hill as a
"seconds" store, selling good product in
packaging that was a little dinged, dented, worn
or torn, along with fresh produce grown in the
area.
They outgrew that shop and moved into a bigger
space in what started out as an electric
wholesale/retail shop, also on the South Hill,
but when they began outgrowing that, Henry and
Verna began looking around and realized there
were no more buildings available suitable to
accommodate Yoder's Market.
So working with the Boundary Economic
Development Council and specialist Dennis Weed,
they set about building a brand new Yoder's
Market, one tat should keep up with their growth
for years to come.
"We're really grateful to be here, and thankful
to be part of such a wonderful community," Henry
said. |
