A new North End business focusing on local and regional goods has been serving happy customers for a number of weeks now, but their presence in the community is about to be made official.<\/p>\n

Neechi Commons, located at 865 Main St., will hold its grand opening on Tues., March 19. The business, which includes a grocery store, restaurant, art shop and bakery, has been undergoing a phased opening in recent weeks, and has been highly active on social media, tempting prospective customers with photos of freshly-baked bannock and other specialties it is offering.<\/p>\n

So far, the grocery, bakery, catering and produce departments are open, with more sections “to be added daily” according to a release issued by Neechi Foods Co-op Ltd.<\/p>\n
