COSHOCTON – Grab a cup of coffee and a bag of popcorn and come see what Rural King has to offer.
The farm and home store offers free refreshments to the public and is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week at 179 S. Second St. It opened its doors Sept. 23, but the official ribbon cutting and grand opening celebration was held Oct. 3.
“We are glad to have this space filled again,” said Mayor Steve Mercer.
Rural King’s building was originally occupied by Wal-Mart, which store manager Denis Earnest once managed.
“It feels great to be back,” he said. “We’ve gotten a lot of support from the community and I’ve heard positive comments about the store.”
Rural King offers a wide variety of items from clothing to hunting to farming to pet supplies. There also are home furnishings and much more.
“Other than a full line of groceries and frozen food we have everything you are looking for,” Earnest said. “I think people are most surprised by our small selection of food and toys and just the overall wide variety of items.”
Amy Stockdale, executive director of the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce was happy Rural King chose Coshocton for its 66th store.
“The economic development of the 67 new jobs it brought here will have a great impact on our city,” she said. “We are happy to have a national store back in Coshocton.”
