New owner for the Palouse grocery store

The grocery store in Palouse has a new owner.

Taking over from Jeff and Vicki McLeod June 5, Amanda Viebrock divides her time between a store in Waterville and now Palouse.

The store's new name is Palouse Family Foods to match Waterville Family Foods.

Changes made at Palouse since June were small, until last week when the store closed an hour early Sept. 17 for installation of a new front-end system, new checkstands registers and a customer service booth. Also, a new counter was put in by the hot foods case. A bigger hot foods case is yet to come.
