Thank you for your patience during the chaos and closings….we are up and running again.  Thanks so much to our wonderful local contractors who worked diligently to get us re-opened quickly:

- dairy farmer, highland games heavy event champion, and carpenter extraordinaire, Warren Trask, for our gorgeous new bankettes, cash out counter, and marital arbitration services
- White Store Equipment for our new-to-us coolers
- Koolzone for getting our coolers up and running and all the unique challenges along the way
- Phil from Castle Masonry for our concrete work and ramps (who knew there was a three inch drop in the new space??)
- Chad Inglis for wall removal, wall building, painting, organizing the chaos, and a million other details along the way
- Greg Martin and the team from Rockwood Electric for making sense out of all the new electrical requirements
- TechsGo for making sure we are all wired up and running properly

What a team!

Also new…Fraberts GOURMET PANINIS AND DELI SANDWICHES to go.  We have the best deli meat in town, plus incredible bread, gourmet cheeses and the freshest toppings – so it’s about time we pulled them together to make delicious paninis and sandwiches to go.  More details here on the website. 

And…Fraberts FRESH MEAT COUNTER!  Finally – you have asked…and we finally made room for it.  Hand cut steaks, the best fresh, local poultry, mouth-watering roasts, great local pork, marinated meats, specialty meats, local, hormone and antibiotic free, humanely raised.

And so much more!
