Minot Grocery Company –Originally known
as Grand Forks Mercantile, the
Minot Grocery Company started operations in Minot in 1906. Its first home was
in downtown Minot east of Main Street and north of Central Avenue. In the early
days Minot Grocery was purchased by the Nash Finch Company. The Nash Brothers started business in 1885 in
Grand Forks and were soon joined by Harry Finch. Nash Finch Company supplied
products to the area Piggly Wiggly, Jack & Jill and Circle Food Stores.
Nash Finch moved to a new, modern warehouse on Highway 2 & 52 West. They
are still in business at the same location. That is now 16th Street
SW and Burdick Expressway West.
