Welcome All to Grayland Grocery, located at 1756 State Route 105, Grayland, Washington ........ where "Life is better at the beach - Come join us".....
My name is Connie Seth. My husband Greg and I have been coming to the Grayland beach area for over 34 years. During the course of our 34 year marriage, we often wondered what we might do in our later years, you know once our children were all married, grown or gone, with a life of their own.
Throughout the years this store fell into disarray, and thats putting it kindly and was put up for sale the summer of 2007. We decided even in the shape that it was in, we still wanted to buy it. We knew it was going to take a lot of hard work, but hard work we were willing to do. We felt it could be brought back, into what it once was many years ago, so we made an offer to the owners to buy it. In September the sale closed and we began work on this little run down grocery store in the heart of Grayland Washington.
The first weekend that we began work we had help from our daughter Melinda and her friend Matt. We all worked very hard that weekend just cleaning the dirt
The picture above shows us replacing damaged subfloor and installed new floor tiles. The picture to the right is Greg replaceing damaged ceiling tiles.
Once again Grayland Grocery is now a clean, bright, warm and welcoming little grocery store
My name is Connie Seth. My husband Greg and I have been coming to the Grayland beach area for over 34 years. During the course of our 34 year marriage, we often wondered what we might do in our later years, you know once our children were all married, grown or gone, with a life of their own.
One of the many things we often ponder was to own our own business, either here in Grayland, or somewhere close by, near our vacation property. Often on a Friday night, as we turned the corner onto Cranberry Beach Road, as we headed toward our trailer for a weekend of relaxation, we commented on how much we would like to own the store that was located on the corner called "Grayland Grocery".

This is just a few pictures how the store looked when we purchased it.
So with a scrub brush and bleach in one hand and a paint brush in the other we began to build our dream and began a new chapter in our life.
The first weekend that we began work we had help from our daughter Melinda and her friend Matt. We all worked very hard that weekend just cleaning the dirt 
off the shelves, mopping the floors and tossing out trash, garage and personal items that were left by the previous owners.
I would have to say I never seen my youngest ever work so hard. She is so excited for her parents to take on something this big and out of the usual for us. She keeps in touch with us from the Redmond area weekly and makes an occasional trip down to visit, help out where needed and see all the improvements we have made since the last time she was down.

We worked for six (6) weeks, cleaning and painting of the all walls, ceiling and shelving, including the walk in cooler

We also put in a new door between storage room and store, replaced lighting in the store as shown below and are in the process of changing all lighting in the entire building. 
So within a few short weeks from the day we set foot in Grayland Grocery on September 15, 2007, the store was ready for business. Our stock at that time was limited to candy, pop, bread, milk and snacks, the beer and wine license had not been issued yet, but we still wanted to get the store opened.
We reopened the doors for business on October 31, 2007 and our beer & wine license was approved by the last week in November, we were then really ready with stocked.
