Times Advocate, 1994-10-19, Page 5Darling's first Exeter grocery store to open Sundays EXETER - Anyone walk- ing on the Main Street this past Sunday probably noticed a bit more activity near Dar- ling's Food Meat Market which tried its hand for the first time at Sunday shop- ping. But whether the other gro- cers will follow Darling's lead is still questionable. Dave Holtzman, of Holtz - man's IGA said he won't make any decision until he gets feedback from his cus- tomers. Tom Seip, of Seip's Valu Mart agreed. "We won't open unless our customers demand it," Seip said. Representatives from Dar- ling's declined to comment on the decision to open the store on Sundays.

"Retail customers didn't know I sold locks, safes and security sys- tems. It's hard to sell such items out of a truck. People want to see before they buy," he said of the de- cision to open the store. While the family operated busi- ness has expanded considerably into areas such as security systems for residential and commercial use as well as selling safes and de- tectors, they still do the traditional key making and repairs. And of course, the Barnes still have to go on calls to help people locked out of their cars. "No matter how many sets of key people have, some people manage to lock them all inside the car," he said. Barnes said he enjoys these calls because it reminds him of when he first started in the business. "I got into locksmithing by see- ing someone doing a repair," Barnes said. "I became fascinated by it," he said. When he started in the business, Barnes said there was no one else in this area operating full time. So he decided to give it a try. "It's changed a lot over the years," he said. "Equipment now is really high tech. But that's half the fun."
