Fareway Stores is purchasing the Lisbon Brothers Market.
The purchase is expected to close in March, and the store will be closed for renovations following the purchase. Brothers Market will be closed beginning Feb. 15.
“As Fareway grows, we are committed to serving vibrant communities of varying sizes,” Fareway CEO Reynolds Cramer said. “We want to thank the DeVries family and city leaders in both communities for having confidence in Fareway to be their local grocery store.”
“For over a decade, Brothers Market has been proud to serve the communities of Denver and Lisbon, Iowa,” Jay DeVries, co-owner of Brothers Market said. “Our family-owned business would like to thank our customers and the community for their support through the years and we know they are in good hands for many more as we pass the baton to Fareway Meat and Grocery.”
“I would like to thank Brothers Market and the DeVries family for being a part of our community for over a decade. Over the past couple of months there has been a lot of time and energy by all parties put into this and to see Fareway in Lisbon become a reality, it is really exciting for our community and its residents,” Lisbon city administrator Brandon Siggins said. “This will not only benefit our community but surrounding communities by attracting visitors to shop here in Lisbon. This is a great opportunity for Lisbon!”
Cabin Coffee will continue to operate as a tenant at Lisbon.
Fareway also said it has been in contact with employees at both locations regarding employment opportunities.
