The Danish Villages Improvement Organization is looking into ways to help residents get easier access to groceries in their communities. The organization will be hosting a meeting on Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. at the Kimballton Town Hall to discuss the possibility of adding a grocery locker system in the area. Theo Ramsey of Ramsey’s Market/Fresh out of the Box will be speaking at the meeting about their system. DVIO member Klare Chapman said the system works as a day ahead order grocery drop-off solution.

Shelby and Walnut currently have the Fresh out of the Box systems in place and Chapman said they won’t need a large footprint to make it happen in the Danish Villages.

Theo and Bonnie Ramsey currently operate grocery stores in Manning and Lenox and have used this concept to branch out and serve other communities in the region. Chapman said they are trying to figure out the best way to serve their small communities of Elk Horn and Kimballton.

She said they really need to hear what everyone thinks of this possible solution.

Again that meeting is at 7:00 p.m. tonight at the Kimballton Town Hall. You can listen to a full interview with Chapman that aired on KJAN’s Heartbeat Today show on our podcast page.
