A new, brighter, friendlier, more conveniently located, and well-stocked Grocery Outlet officially opened on February 4 in East Carson City. As the dignitaries assembled to conduct a formal ribbon cutting event coordinated by the Carson City Chamber of Commerce, the store was already packed with shoppers. Owned by the father/daughter team of Mike Blewett and Bobbie Johnson, the bright new store is located in the Plaza 50 Shopping Center that once was home to another home-town grocery store, Scolari's. Dignitaries on hand to congratulate and celebrate the new store included Senator Don Tatro, Assemblyman P.K. O'Neill, Mayor Lori Bagwell, Supervisors Lisa Schuette, Stan Jones, and Maurice White along with Chamber board members, Grocery Outlet corporate and community business leaders.
