Keota Keeps its Grocery Dream Alive With Investors
In Keota a community of 84 residents raised 96000 to buy and fix the town’s lone grocery building at 217 E Broadway Ave. Roger Westendorf ran the store under a five year sweetheart lease but left after debts grew to about 50000. Steve Sheetz leads GSBI investors who hope a new operator can keep the store open with weekend hours and strong local support.
