Fayetteville

News

Jeff and Lorrie Grimm sold the Westside store to Fayetteville residents Christina and Jay Carden. The Cardens grew up in Fayette County and settled in Fayetteville in 2012. “It’s been a dream to open up a little store of our own. We have fond memories of watching both of our grandparents run similar businesses. Since we were both needing a change in our careers, we decided to go for it.” stated Christina. There will be a few updates and changes to the exterior but for the most part, the store will stay close to the same.

“Of course, we plan on keeping the bait. We highly respect what this store has been to Fayetteville. Eventually, we’re wanting to add feed, hardware and plumbing supplies. Our goal is to be a true convenience to our local community.“ Westside will be renamed the Circle C General Store.
