Co-owner David Hawkins said changes include installing produce cases, replacing refrigeration cases, redoing bathrooms and offices and completing a makeover of the store's exterior. Changes should be complete by the end of March, Hawkins said. Another piece of good news is all store employees have been retained.

This is the fifth store Can Stockers has purchased since 1987, when the bought a location in Bonne Terre. Since then they have bought stores in Park Hills, Farmington and Ironton. Future expansions in Southeast Missouri are planned, Hawkins said.

Store hours at the Jackson location are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
