The stove is in!!! We sincerely want to thank everyone. A special thanks to Glenn, Sam, Chris and his amazing crew, and Mark for the equipment. We could not have done it without you!

Hi everyone! Things are moving and shaking at the Royalston General Store! We have a shiny new stove, but we could really use your help! Our new commercial stove (nearly 900 lbs!) was delivered, but the delivery company failed to move it into the store’s kitchen as promised, and they’re refusing to honor the service we paid for.

The stove is outside, and we need to get it up a few steps, into the store and into the kitchen. A forklift isn’t an option due to the steps, so we’re looking for some strong folks to lend a hand (or muscle!) to make this happen. If you have experience moving heavy equipment or can bring tools like a heavy-duty dolly, that’s a huge plus!

We’d love to coordinate this soon to get the store’s kitchen up and running. Please comment, message us, or stop by the store and ring the bell to let us know if you can help. As a thank you, once we're up and running we’ll hook you up with some store goodies or a gift card for your time and effort! 🙌

Thank you so much!

** Local Services and Referrals Needed! **

Hello community! 🌟

We have been busy, busy, busy working with state and town departments to learn the scope of the work before us, and we're off to a fantastic start!

We made a commitment to go local and involve the community in their store whenever possible, and as such the Royalston General Store is in need of the following services or referrals:

1. **Commercial Hood/Vent Cleaning**: We need someone who specializes in cleaning commercial kitchen hoods and vents. Creating a kitchen that is safe and spotless is a top priority!

2. **Exterminator**: Got wasps? We sure do, and we could use a professional to help us take care of them. Regulations also require us to maintain a relationship with a company for licensing purposes.

3. **Roofer**: Our store's front overhang could use some attention. We're looking for a skilled roofer to help with repairs.

4. **Oil Furnace Inspector**: Cold weather is inevitable, and we want to make sure our oil furnace is in tip-top shape. If you or someone you know can inspect and maintain it, please reach out!

5. **HVAC Inspector**. The warm weather will drift away soon, but we want to ensure this is working properly for years to come!

6. **Commercial Kitchen Appliance Cleaning**: We’re looking for a cleaning company to sanitize our commercial kitchen appliances and get everything sparkling.

If you or someone you know offers any of these services, please contact us via email at [email protected].

Your support is greatly appreciated, and we thank you for your help!

Special helpers Sage and Penny arrived at the store today to help us clean and sort! What do you think? Should we give them job applications for when we open?

THE ROYALSTON GENERAL STORE HAS CHANGED HANDS! Winter and Helder Vieira are the new owners as of January 24th. They are making plans to bring the store back to life as an essential part of the community and a major step toward the continued revitalization of the South Village. Winter and Helder will be focusing on needed repairs/improvements to the building over the next several months. They also plan to reach out to residents of Royalston to learn as much as possible about the community's needs. No opening date has been set. We all welcome them to our community and wish them the very best. They have written a letter to the community.
