"Grand Avenue Market has officially closed. March has been a tough month for our employees, the foundation board members, and our loyal customers. We appreciate all your kind words and appreciation of our efforts to make a positive impact on the community of Plains.
We have started the next phase of this journey, auctioning off the equipment. The bank is using Grafe Auction, a national online auction service. The auction will be on their site, hopefully, within the next two weeks. If you are interested in acquiring any of this equipment, please go to grafeauction.com and follow the instructions for setting up an account.
No equipment will be sold prior to the auction.
After the equipment is sold and cleared from the building, the building will be up for sale. Watch for a “For Sale” sign in front of the building.
Though this is a difficult ending, it carries many good memories and countless moments we will never forget.
