ELY, Minn. – Zup’s Food Market announced on Wednesday its plans to purchase Ely Northland Market in the early part of 2021.
The two major grocers in Ely say the partnership will result in one large grocery store located in the now vacant Shopko building.
According to a recent press release, both stores will continue to operate through the summer season with plans to open at the new Shopko facility in September.
“It makes perfect sense,” said Donna Richards, who along with her husband Jim will sell ENM after purchasing it in 2003. “The best of both stores are moving into one.”
