Le grand opening.



Top right: some of the crowd waiting for the opening.


Top left: At 9.30 and no sign of any Northern staff part of the crowd decided to make a run for the door..... it was locked.


Second right: The rushing of the door got the staff and Honchos out, short speeches by the manager.

















A ribbon was eventually strung across and some local dignitaries cut the ribbon and were given plaques. At least that's what I think happened as I was looking into he sun.







Then all entered the store in an orderly manner.
Inside is like any other southern super market, without some of the frills of the bigger stores.
All in all it was and will be a very different shopping experience for us.
I took a couple of inside shots but then my batteries died. Later.
