KENWOOD â The United Keetoowah Band recently purchased the Kenwood grocery store, a long-time community staple, and have plans to upgrade the business to better service the area. It will be known as the Keetoowah General Store.Â
When UKB Councilor Charles Smoke was looking for a space to hold Saline District meetings, he said he looked at a building behind the store for a potential meeting space.
âWeâve been talking to chief (Joe Bunch) about finding a place to have our district meetings for Saline District,â Smoke said. âI seen that building back there and it said for sale. I thought we got a good price so chief was visiting with the former owner. Next thing you know weâre buying the store. So it all worked out good.â
