Photos From Adel Fareway Ribbon Cutting Opening Day
Folks from Adel, Earlham, Redfield, Desoto and Minburn turned out in full force to welcome Fareway to Adel Wednesday.
The parking lot was full by 9:30 a.m. for the ribbon cutting ceremony. Customers were already lining up outside to start shopping when the store opened at 10:00 a.m.
There is a definite “Wow!” factor to the new store. From the spacious layout, fully stocked meat department, to the professional and friendly staff.

Be sure to stop out to the new store and get your “Wow.”

Happy April! It’s great to see the grass and sunshine! Like many people, this last winter was very hard on my car.
