[UPDATE] Dutch Country Market and Valley Housewares

**This is an update to A Brief Tour of Dutch Country Market and Valley Housewares, originally published on July 15, 2022**


Returning to Fort Plain, some interesting developments have happened with these two businesses.


In regards to Dutch Country Market, they now occupy the entire space. You will see some changes inside.


Immediately we see the concrete flooring has been given epoxy to give it a terrazzo look.



The old Valley Housewares space has also been given the epoxy treatment to the floor. It has also been repurposed to house an expanded grocery section, with both food and nonfood items.



Cart Tax: A new set of carts were added in this update. A set of Versacart EXpress5050 carts (above) were added in alongside the Kmart Technibilt 5341 carts. The S-Series 160L carts shown below replaced the Kmart Technibilt 3440 and Peggs KNM400 for customer use.


Valley Housewares would have into the building next to Dutch Country Market.


Like the front portion of the Dutch Country Market, it has a corrugated metal ceiling. This store had a nicer concrete floor.


Cart Tax: The Ames Uniteds from 2000 made the move to the new building. All of them had the same 5-00 date of manufacture and odd MFG. info formatting.
