Shoppers Invited to Inaugurate Refurbished Fareway Iowa Branch
Fareway Opens New Store in Lisbon, Iowa, with Solar Power and Self-Checkout Services
Fareway Stores Inc., a leading grocery chain in the Midwest, has expanded its footprint with a new store in Lisbon, Iowa. The store, located at 930 Commercial Street, east of Cedar Rapids, officially opened its doors on July 9.
Brandon Siggins, the Lisbon city administrator, welcomed Fareway to the community at the grand opening. The event was attended by Fareway executives and local officials.
The store has undergone several months of renovation and now features new displays, equipment, and a solar array on the roof. The refreshed store spans an area of 18,000 square feet, which was previously occupied by Brother's Market.
The solar array is expected to generate more power than the store's electrical demands, with the excess power being sold back to the utility company. However, specific details about the solar energy use and power sales in Lisbon, Iowa, could not be found in the recent data provided. For updated and detailed information, it is recommended to consult Fareway's corporate sustainability reports, local utility or energy cooperative records in Lisbon, or news articles and press releases on Fareway’s renewable energy projects in Iowa.
Shoppers can enjoy a variety of convenient services at the new Lisbon Fareway. Self-checkout services are available, and curbside pickup is offered for added convenience. The store also boasts an onsite Cabin Coffee.
Fareway Stores Inc. employs more than 13,000 associates across its 140 stores in Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota. The company is No. 87 on The PG 100, Progressive Grocer's 2025 list of the top food and consumables retailers in North America.
CEO Reynolds Cramer stated that Fareway is committed to serving communities of varying sizes, and the opening of the Lisbon store is a testament to this commitment.
The Lisbon Fareway is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The store's hours may vary on holidays, so it is advisable to check the store's website or contact them directly for holiday hours.
While the Lisbon Fareway is the latest addition to the Fareway family, there are no current plans for new family Dollar Tree stores, Trader Joe's locations, the new Pinnacle Deli concept, or Ollie's debut in Nebraska.
The new Lisbon Fareway store, with its solar power and self-checkout services, caters to a modern lifestyle, making grocery shopping more efficient and sustainable. With the addition of an onsite Cabin Coffee, it also offers a home-and-garden setting for shoppers to enjoy.
