The Town of Bentley is excited to announce that the grocery store is officially sold to new owners Brad and Andrea Bromley. They bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the community and to the operation of a grocery store. Below is a bit of history that showcases their experience and what they are bringing to Bentley.

to help out wherever we can helping the next generation progress in life.
In our spare time, we love to go camping with our girls, Alana and

we can. We are also huge Oilers and Seahawks fans!
The anticipated opening of the store is early spring.
