Oaks of Righteousness to open Village Market next month
For the first time in a long time, the City of Monroe s Orchard East neighborhood will have its own grocery store.
The Oaks of Righteousness recently purchased, and is currently in the process of transforming, the defunct Pop Stop Party Store at 1104 E. Fourth Street into the Village Market, which will be a grocery store that also offers educational services designed to encourage healthy dietary habits. The store is expected to open March 1.
The market project is the brainchild of Oaks Pastor Heather Boone, who told the Monroe News in November that she hoped to open both an ice cream parlor and grocery store on the east side of Monroe within the next couple of years.
