NEW BUSINESS: DISCOUNT GROCERY STORE OPENS ON GOOD HOPE

Ma and Pa's Discount Grocery has opened at 630 Good Hope.

Evelyn and Don Howard are owners of the new grocery, which offers canned goods, cereals, coffee and other grocery items.

"We do not have meats or produce," said Don Howard.

Evelyn Howard serves as manager of new business, which is open six days a week.

The store is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed Sunday.
