SHERBURNE – The Village of Sherburne will welcome a newly-expanded and relocated Big M grocery store this coming spring.

Manager and owner Jim Fowler said the acquisition of the former Great American located a mile up Main Street from the Big M was completed on Dec. 18. Plans are for an early May opening of the new store.

A delivery of coolers, cases, shelving, signs and other interior displays was recently received on site and contractors are busy with the building’s renovations. The new location increases the Big M’s capacity for perishable goods with twice as many produce offerings, three times as much dairy, four times as much frozen food, and doubles the size of its former bakery.

“We’ll definitely be offering more variety and more selection,” said Fowler.

The proposed purchase and move to the larger space was announced early last year.

In addition, motorists will be able to pump gasoline and have access to other fuel products. Fowler said customers will be offered a 10 percent discount at the pump for every $50 of groceries purchased inside.
