About Drew, Val, and Food Ranch
Drew grew up in Huntington, Utah. He and Val met while working for
Associated Food Stores between 1971-1981 and they moved back home in
1981 when given an opportunity to build his own grocery store.
Drew's Food Ranch store began as a 3000 square foot, metal house/barn.
He had experience working with local bakeries while with Associated Food Stores
and used that experience to open his own in-store bakery. Because of the store's
limited size, the bakery and meat departments actually shared the same space,
with the bakery operating early in the morning and the meat department taking
over the space for the rest of the day.
Because of the Drew and Val's hard work and close ties to the community, their
store has experienced great success. They have remodeled and expanded the store
several times, first expanding to 6000 square feet in 1986, and then to 23000 square
feet in 1996.
Over the years, Drew's Food Ranch has grown into a modern grocery store and now
offers everything from sporting goods and a racquetball court to a sit down dining
area and catering services.
Drew and Val would like to thank the citizens of Emery County for all their support
over
the years.
