Fareway on West 41st to close Saturday
Aug. 2, 2019
Saturday is the final day for Fareway’s first grocery store in Sioux Falls.
The store at 1431 W. 41st St. will be replaced by a Fareway that will be built on 41st near Ellis Road.
Merchandise, except for cigarettes, is marked at 10 percent off the normal shelf price, assistant manager Jake Jeppeson said. There also are carts filled with items throughout the store that are marked down even more.
The store will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
While some shelves are bare, there’s plenty of merchandise left for bargain hunters.
Work has not started yet at the new location, which is in the Westown Marketplace development. The store is scheduled to open next spring.
In the meantime, employees were given the opportunity to work at other Fareway stores in the area, Jeppeson said. There are stores at 41st and Sycamore on the east side of Sioux Falls and in Harrisburg and Tea. Most staff members were relocated, he said.
