New Grocery Outlet store opens in Ferndale today
For Larry Brown, opening Whatcom County鈥檚 second Grocery Outlet store is a bit of a homecoming.
A ribbon-cutting will take place at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, July 23, at 1750 LaBounty Drive. The store also will have a grand opening event from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 25. The grand opening will include a chance to receive a shopping bag, gift certificates and win prizes.
Brown originally planned on being a teacher when he was attending Western Washington University, but enjoyed the work culture of the Grocery Outlet when he started working at the Bellingham store in 1993.
