Suburban grocery battles heat up as Festival Foods opens Friday in Verona. (Wisconsin State Journal, 10/10/2019)
With 177 employees, Miller’s is no doubt a pillar of the community, but its business model is about to undergo a major test when Festival Foods on Friday opens a 67,119-square-foot store next door to Blain’s Farm & Fleet on the city’s east side.
The Festival, with 230 employees, includes a sprawling delicatessen with 526 feet of coolers, hot bars and cold bars. There’s a supervised play area for children while parents shop, a cafe, a full-service bakery where 70 percent of the items are made from scratch, and 192 doors of frozen foods and dairy products, giving Verona shoppers another significant choice in how to spend their grocery dollars without leaving the city limits.
