The Regular open hours of the store will be Wednesday through Saturday from 11 .m. to 6 p.m.
The grand opening of the store will take place from 11 a.m.- 5 p.m. Friday, May 23, and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday, May 24, 2025.
Tim and Bethany Zamora purchased the building and fixed it up. It already has stocked many of the local products, including homemade jams, jellies and pickles, T-shirts, fruit chips, wooden cutting boards and cut-metal decorations. Tim Zamora said they expect to start selling local produce in June and apples from their own trees in September.
Bethany Zamora, a retired teacher, has plans to create an area for younger youths to be able to congregate for arts and crafts and other events.
A large room is also allocated for veterans and others to meet. The VFW chapter will continue meeting there, and other veteran groups are welcome.
