Thompson’s Grocery, located at 229 North Ave. in Owego, will close its doors on April 21 after 70 years of service to the community. The closing is a bittersweet and emotional ending for owner David Thompson who picked up the torch from his father, Raymond, in July of 1996.
The grocery store has been a fixture on North Avenue since Ray Thompson purchased the property in the late 1940’s, along with generations before that.
We will have a full feature on the store and its history in next weekend’s print edition of the Owego Pennysaver Press. Be sure to grab a copy!
