BECKLEY, W.Va. — Little General Stores Inc. and Dunkin' expanded their partnership with the official grand opening of the coffee and doughnut shop at the convenience retailer's Marmet, W.Va., location.
Area leaders, customers and staff gathered for a ribbon cutting on Oct. 29 where they heard from an array of speakers, including members of the Charleston Area Alliance; Marmet Mayor David Fontalbert; Kanawha County Commissioner Marc Slotnick; and a representative from Congresswoman Carol Miller's office.
