C & R SUPERMARKETS INC. PURCHASE LA PLATA C & R MARKET Jerry Edwards, CEO of C & R Supermarkets, Inc., is proud to announce the recent acquisition of Mr. Holland Clem’s shares of C & R Market in La Plata, Missouri. The La Plata C & R has been previously owned by Holland Clem of La Plata and the late Richard Ramsey of Macon, Missouri. La Plata C & R Market was the first and original C & R Market and was established in 1957. C & R consisted of two stores at that time. One was located downtown La Plata and the second located at the old
junction on Highway 63. The Hwy 63 store was later sold to Darrell and Sara Fouch. Holland and Richard proceeded to expand their business to C & R Shelbina and C & R Palmyra. Mr. Clem retired over the next few years and sold his interest in those stores but has kept his ownership in the La Plata store for over 55 years. Ramsey was soon joined by his brother-in-law, Jerry Edwards, in the C & R business and expansion began to take place through Northeast Missouri. Also, Ramsey’s sons-in law,
Mark Thomas and Clay foster, joined the business and this joint effort grew the C & R Markets into a chain of 12 current stores. C & R is very excited about the current direction of the La Plata C & R. The staff of the La Plata store, headed by Store manager, Keith Turner and Meat Manager, Michael Riemenschneider, is dedicated to giving the citizens of LaPlata a top-notch, full service grocery store. With the expertise of Turner and Riemenschneider, there are many positive changes in store for the La Plata C & R.
Holland and Ella Clem want to thank all of our loyal customers for their many years of patronizing the La Plata C & R. Your continuing support has been a pleasure and one of the highlights of our lives. Holland would also like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to continue to support C & R as full-service grocery stores in small towns are becoming fewer and fewer. Your support will help keep La Plata alive.
