MARSHALLS CREEK — It seemed like the day before Thanksgiving in one section of the Poconos.

Hundreds of people came out to do some shopping at a brand new grocery store in Marshalls Creek and some items didn’t stay on store shelves for long.

Customers mobbed the new Price Chopper on Route 209 in Marshalls Creek.  It was opening day for this grocery store and the aisles were packed with people eager to do some shopping.

“They have porterhouses for $4 a pound, that’s fabulous,” said Ginny Lawson, Middle Smithfield Township.

“It’s gorgeous. It’s humongous,” Ronald King said.

King lives near Price Chopper in Middle Smithfield Township and says this grocery store is needed in his community.

“This is a store and a half, I’ll tell you. It’s about time they get something like this here.”

COOLBAUGH TOWNSHIP — Imagine that you take your car to get repairs and leave it there overnight, only to have the shop burst into flames with your car sitting in a bay.

That’s exactly what happened to one customer over the weekend when a tire and auto place near Mount Pocono went up in flames.

George Bodden of Mount Pocono is one of many people who came by to check out the damage to Jack Williams Tire and Auto near Mount Pocono.

He says Saturday night, “I watched it burn”.

But Bodden isn’t talking about watching the shop go up in flames, with thick, black plumes of smoke towering over the area. Instead, he came by the shop today because, “My car is in one of the bays that went up in flames with the property.”

Bodden’s Chevy Equinox is still sitting in the first bay, under charred rubble from the fire over the weekend.
