We feel it’s important to address something briefly and respectfully.
Recently, a new employee (who was fired) made some very hurtful and untrue statements that were shared online about us, our customers, and this community.
We want to be very clear:
We love and appreciate the Owasco community deeply, and we are grateful every day for the people who support us.
The situation involved the fired employee and a special needs customer of ours who is very dear to us. We want to make it clear that we do not tolerate disrespect toward individuals with disabilities or special needs in any form.
Let me repeat that.
We DO NOT TOLERATE any form of disrespect toward individuals with disabilities or special needs in ANY form.
Our store has always tried to be a welcoming, kind, and safe place for everyone. That will not change.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support The Owasco Market and Deli. We appreciate you more than you know.
