About Us

 

Our History:

Serving a community with fine quality groceries is a third generation business for our family!

Our Grandfather opened the first grocery store and the tradition continues with our family today. Our stores are all currently operated by family members. We purchased this store in April 1982, and became incorporated in 1992. During that time, we have owned and operated several stores in Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas. We currently own three stores:

  • Downs Super Foods - Downs, KS
  • Ellinwood Family Foods - Ellinwood, KS
  • Wilson Family Foods - Wilson, KS

We currently have 23 employees in this store and a combined total of approximately 50 employees between the three stores our family owns. We are proud of our employees and the high quality service they provide customers who visit our stores.
