The store is now open. It is REALLY clean and well stocked although I’m sure more stock is on the way. Coolers all along one wall have things we all can use. So glad we finally have a store closer than Cantonment. GOOD LUCK.

I agree.. We need to clean up our town and maybe this will have others look around. I remember the old Molino Grocery and how it was needed here and used on a daily basis.. The building is falling down it make the new DG sort of looking a little out of place. Its apparent we won’t get a Wal-Mart and thats okay , but how can we attract others with the run down vacant business around and the look of a poor town. I think it time to clean up and pray other business may look at coming in our area..It is time Mom and Pops store can’t seem to thrive any longer here we need to step up to the plate and encourage our town to grow.

I thinks its great.. I understand the China bit but if you understand this will enable our people here to have a job close to home. Yes the monies will be transfered to another place, but the idea is having a close to home store and some of the monies will be returned in our town…Look around what do we have… 17miles to Cantonment or more to Pensacola or then toward Atmore..I think we need more.. I know my husband and I wanted to open a DG here. I also think we could use a Waffle House or another Gas station with a food chain combo..Just check out the traffic from Atmore to Hwy. 29 …Century thru Molino before getting to Cantonment…Come on people we will be helping out town as well as our people…Its time to come into 2010.

Well one thing if I had enough people interested, I’d go into a business venture and put another grocery store in Molino. It wouldn’t have to be a huge store but one like Grocery Advantage used to be that you could shop and get groceries without having to drive eight miles south on 29. I really believe this area could support a grocery store…

It will be very convenient for us all. However, it is unfortunate that our money will be supporting communist China instead of a local small business. But I guess life is life! :-\
