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?

Hiya new neighbors! We are looking for local referrals for estimates for some of the initial work on the store.

To start, the overhang needs to be re-roofed. We are also looking for someone to reinforce some floor joists.

We've begun sorting and cleaning in the store, and we've met a few people already! If you're in the area and spot the door open, feel free to pop in and say hi!

Once the weather cooperates we'll be doing some interior and exterior painting. When that gets a little closer we're hoping to bribe volunteers with soda, beer, and pizza if anyone would like to be a part of the store's rebirth.

Please feel free to comment here or message us. Thank you!

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. Take a moment to check it out in the February edition of thr Royalston Community Newsletter. Royalston General Store

🍁🍃🍂Hello Neighbors! Come join us on September 26th from 10:00 a.m. until we finish or get tired, for a clean-up of the Millers River in the South Village. Meet up at the King Street Bridge across from the store. We will be walking the river banks and reachable sections of the bed to collect rubbish and trash that has collected over the years. Large contractor trash bags will be provided to collect what trash is removed and then transported to the transfer station. Anyone with pick-up trucks to help with that would be appreciated.🍂🍃🍁

All one needs to bring is a great attitude and outlook on life but please do dress accordingly as the river can be tough to walk (a walking staff/stick might come in handy, and sturdy shoes and gloves). We will be in socially distanced and masked teams of 4.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
