Charly's Market Sneak Peek! 

Charly's Rendering  

There's a lot of activity these days at 225 E. Madison Street.  Workers are getting things started on the inside for what soon will be Charly's Market.  

 

We are releasing the artist renderings, as shown above, as to what the outside of the new grocery store will look like.

 

Owner Carolyn Miller says drain pipes are going in and other prep work has taken place, and this week concreting is being done.  She says next will be framing, bringing in coolers and the food, and then decorating.  Miller hopes to have the store open by April.
