I am not very good at writing letters to the editor, but this letter I will make sure gets finished.

On Thursday, June 17, I and the whole town and surrounding area had the wonderful opportunity to go into our wonderful new grocery store and complex called “Ernie’s.” How wonderful for this town to have such a great facility. It’s so nice to have so many more choices and everything is displayed beautifully and the meat department is great.

Thank you, Al and Barb, for doing this for Staples. Also, with our hospital and clinic complex and our new Highway 10, Staples looks so nice to out-of-town people driving through and who knows, they all might stop and do other things in our town.

Thank you. again. You should be very proud of your store and all your hard work.

Diane Japke Staples, Minn.
