Melville –  Prairie Co-op is announcing the sale of its Kelliher Food Store to local businessperson, Doug Scully. The sale and transfer of ownership will become final on Feb. 15, 2025.

“It is always a difficult decision to sell an asset, but we believe that this was the best decision for both the community and Prairie Co-op,” said Terry Vanmackelberg, General Manager of Prairie Co-op. “We know that the Food Store is important to the Kelliher community, so it was important to us that we find a buyer who is committed to Kelliher and will be part of the fabric of that community for a long time. We believe we found that in Doug Scully and that the Food Store will be in good hands for the foreseeable future.”
