GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Last week a flurry of high-flying activity at the future location of the new Savmor grocery store caught the attention of the community.
Last Thursday, January 13th, heavy equipment was brought in to assist in erecting the infrastructure of the new store. At one point, two large cranes could be seen making quick work of putting up the building’s infrastructure and the support beams of its roof. By late afternoon, an almost complete frame could be seen looming large behind the AM/PM store.
The site located off Fairview Avenue in Gridley will be the home of the new Savmor store, which promises to be both larger and boasts a wider selection of goods than its predecessor. It is expected to be open for business later this year.
