Despite what appears to be the most inopportune time to open, the Brewer IGA has opened in the former Save-A-Lot location at 87 South Main Street, just as the Covid-19 pandemic was heading to the United States, in February 2020.

Starting with a toilet paper shortage, the store gained a reputation as a great little hometown grocer, often having supplies that big box stores couldn’t keep on the shelves due to panicked shoppers. . They had friendly and knowledgeable staff and often carried items produced or created by local vendors.

Almost two years later, it looks like the property will change hands again. But this tradition of keeping things local will continue, as the IGA was recently purchased by Dale Tozier, Jr.

Brewer IGA posted a statement on its Facebook page last week thanking everyone who has supported the store since it opened.

“We are deeply moved by the calls, emails, letters and visits we have received. We never imagined that a scenario like this would unfold, but we feel comfortable knowing that what started as your community has now grown into OUR community. and we leave it in the best possible hands. The Tozier family will own and operate the store space, offering the community a new Tozier family market. Their generations of experience and strong family and community ties will only support the growth of the brewing community. “

Tozier said his family had run local markets and convenience stores in eastern Maine for over 50 years, starting in 1967. They now have stores in Brewer, Bucksport and Searsport.

Tozier says that while the transition from IGA to Toziers is still underway, he plans to make a few changes before reopening.

There is no doubt from the reaction of people in the comments section that the Brewer IGA will be missed, but people are happy that the store remains in local hands. As one person put it:

“We will miss you! I loved your famous potato salad, your local meat, your Momos cheesecake and your chicken salad. Your staff were amazing and I wish you all good luck.”
