The Old Georgia Market (Still Standing) on the right and the New Georgia Market in back on the left.


Chris Santee is shown interviewing Ray Bouffard, the owner.


Ray is pleased with the nice wide aisles he has so people can shop and also visit without blocking the aisles.


Ray & Chris talk about the license for the new store for beer & wine.


Chris decides to halt the interview while he tours the Beer Cave.


Looks like Chris found something - I had a little trouble keeping Chris focused on the interview vs shopping.


The overhead lighting is all controlled by Ray's computer and the intensity is determined by the light outside.


Ray is posing with the Energy Vermont Representatives who were there and have been guiding Ray with his Energy Savings.


The magnetic curtain is used at night to conserve energy - Each area has its own thermostat for control of temperatures.


The Baked Apple Cider Doughnuts on the top shelf caught my eye - But I didn't buy any although they looked tempting


The hood over the grill is automatic and turns on only when needed.


Ray stands in front of the meat case - He has 3 meat cutters that keep the case supplied with fresh meats.


Ray showed us one of the large containers of spices that are a huge savings to the buyer.


As you can see he has a large variety of spices in the large containers - Quite a savings over the smaller containers.


A nice assortment of fruits and vegetables that are delivered three times a week to insure freshness.


I took a photo of this Green Mountain Coffee Display just special for Trevor Russell - Our GMC Rep on the forum.


Ray stands in front of The Customer Service Desk which at present also is utilized as a check-out.


Here he is shown standing behind the counter.


Shopper Chris Santee who was supposed to be interviewing is shown as he arrives at the Check-Out Counter.


Now its time to pay up Chris as we get ready to head back to Fairfax - Good Luck Ray, you have done a great job - Its looking great!!

The old Georgia Market was demolished on Friday, December 16th, 2011.
Here's a video of a story that was happening there Christmastime 2010:

The NEW Georgia Market has 10,000 square feet.

Almost all demolished building materials were donated for recycling to
Habitat for Humanity !

Take Care & God Bless,
