Marion Market returns!
On Saturday, June 10th, Marion Market with Momma’s Kitchen had their grand opening. The new owners, Tom and Darlene Davis, along with family and friends, worked together for over three months to get the place ready to re-open. “It took alot of long hours and work to get the store ready to open,” said Darlene.
The store is located at 5933 Marion Road in Cunningham, just south of Indian Creek road, and carries all the items you would expect of a market. They have milk and bread, sodas, snacks, baking supplies, beauty aids, etc. The market will also carry hardware items. “We are trying to stock items people need to save them a trip into town,” Darlene said. “You can think of us as your country Wal-Mart.”
