Business Scene for the week of 6/26/18
50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION
It was 50 years ago in July when Idaho and Marceline Urrutia opened Idaho Grocery. Back then the store had its original vintage wooden shelves, flooring, high ceilings and sawdust in the butcher shop that made you feel like you were stepping back in time. Throughout the last 50 years, the Urrutia family has made many upgrades, remodeled and expanded their line of quality meats, seafood, produce and groceries.
On Friday, June 29 and Saturday, June 30, you can join them to celebrate their anniversary and they’ll be serving complimentary refreshments, cookies and cupcakes. They’ll also have a special discount on their marinated tri-tips, which come in burgundy pepper, Santa Maria, bourbon Dijon and the butchers special recipe, Idaho’s black gold. Did you know they also make hearty deli sandwiches on Truckee Sourdough rolls? You can choose from their tasty, high quality, lean lunch meat, hand cut fresh daily and all your favorite cheeses and toppings.
If you’ve never shopped at their local butcher shoppe, now is the time to taste the difference and serve your family the best meat in town! You won’t find the small town charm and friendly service at the box supermarkets. Idaho Grocery is one of the oldest family-owned businesses in Susanville, and they’re working hard to bring you fresh meat and produce at competitive prices.
