Grocery store opens in Parsons
PARSONS — Twin brothers Caleb and Benjamin Newton have opened Granddad’s Discount Groceries in Parsons, and already have plans to expand to Caney soon.
The store was named in honor of the Newtons’ grandfather, Warren Marlow, who started a pest control business in Parsons, according to the Parsons Sun.
Customers must place orders from their website, granddadsgroceries.com, which lists an inventory of groceries available.
The inventory consists mostly of discounted food, with some items close to their expiration dates or with damaged packaging, the newspaper noted, but is still safe to consume.
