New Hours at Andy’s Market Our Favorite Small Grocery
A
ndy’s Market on Rickman Street in Clayton, Georgia has been a mainstay of Rabun County for decades. You know they have the best meats in town, fresh local veggies and local honey. With their signature line of jams and jellies produced right here in Rabun County and the best meat skins in a variety of flavors, why shop anywhere else? The customer service is outstanding because Andy and Deborah have poured their hearts and souls into the store for 36 years. They know most of their customers and welcome part-time homeowners year after year. With the recent virus outbreak, the Hunters stayed open to provide the community with a place to get the goods they needed. Trying to keep the shelves stocked was a challenge but they put the effort in and all the while keeping themselves and the customers as safe as possible. “We could not have done any of this without Dennis McClure, our butcher and his assistant Jessie Simpson. In the front working hard to bag and help us stock we had Grayson Carver and Joseph Gibson.” Deborah said. “Andy and I appreciate them all so much and all of us appreciate our customers.” Making the decision to change their hours to afford themselves time to restock and get a little rest was a tough one but proved to be beneficial. Closing on Wednesdays gave the couple time to put the fresh stock up and sanitize everything. It worked out so well that it has become the new normal at Andy’s. The new store hours for Andy’s Market are Monday – Tuesday 7 am – 6 pm, Thursday – Saturday 7 am – 6 pm and closed on Wednesday and Sunday. Serving the community has always been the goal and Andy and Deborah feel that this will allow them to do that even better. If Covid-19 has taught us anything it is to take care of ourselves, slow down a bit and appreciate others. I know that I am very grateful for Andy’s Market, the store is loved by all who shop there. We are fortunate to have a small family owned and operated grocery in our town. For more info call 706-782-3631.
