Notability not established for this Ohio local chain of grocery stores. No independent sources are included apart form one dubious self-promotional interview and so this fails WP:ORG. The article has been marked as needing re-write for over 2 years without any progress being made. Wikipedia is not a directory of every shop on the high street.
