The $150,000 expan- sion program at the store is nearly completed and it is ex- pected that the grand opening will be held in approximately two weeks. Exeter's old opera house had to he demolished to make room for the new store which has more than doubled in size. The original store which has been remodelled had a floor area of 3,500 square feet. The new store has an area of 8,600 square feet and the en- tire store has been planned by experts to make shopping easier and faster. The six month expansion pro- gram included more than just building an addition and remodel- ling existing facilities. All mer- chandising displays and equip- ment have been replaced with the latest in modern fixtures and the new brighter choice of colors greatly enhances the interior. The new aisles in the store have been arranged at maximum width to allow easy passing of grocery carts. The entire ar- rangement of merchandise is dis- played in such a way that the eye naturally scans all the products making the job of doing the weekly shopping much easier as well as being faster. New checkouts will speed the shoppers on their way. Two new checkouts have been added to give a total of five to allow for faster processing after the shop- per has completed the rounds of the store. The checkouts are all located in the older section of the store which has been cleared of cen- tral display stands to allow for an easier flow of traffic. Also in the older section of the store is the produce department flank- ing two sides. This has been tripled in size to make room for a larger variety of produce. The ice cream department is also located close to the checkout counters so that customers can pick this up at their last stop before going through the check- out counters. The complete building has been planned for shopper comfort all year. The building is completely air conditioned and also features electric heating throughout. Other new features in the store include a new dairy counter which allows for 125 feet of display shelves as opposed to 24 feet previously. These new displays allow for eye level viewing while still maintaining a cool even tem- perature. There are 48 feet of frozen food display as well as a 56 foot counter for fresh and cured meats. The staff has been increased for greater efficiency with the opening of the new store but they will still be under the direction of long time employees such as grocery manager, Tony Char- rette, meat manager Russell Tie- man, produce manager Glen Ro- binson and head cashier and sec- retary, Dorothy Marks. Several special events are planned for the grand opening. Owner of the store Fred Darling indicated this week he intends to make the opening the biggest give-away promotion in the his- tory of Exeter. By MRS.
