JACKSON TWP. – Stark County’s only independent family-owned grocery store is making significant changes to its store and operations, with a focus on quality and customer service.

Fishers Foods, with its only remaining store located at 5215 Fulton Drive NW in Jackson Township, is working to improve both the food it offers and the service those who shop there receive.

“My grandfather and father instilled in me the importance of quality,” said Alex Fisher, vice president and treasurer of Fishers Foods, who oversees day-to-day operations.

Alex Fisher, vice president and treasurer of Fishers Foods, says the Fulton Drive NW store in Jackson Township will expand its selection of natural wines.

The store is enhancing its homemade offerings with new menu items and additional staff. Chef Roman Moretti is leading these improvements as a food consultant, with a focus on better quality and operational efficiency.
