PROFILE |
 |
Fareway Stores makes the green through groceries. The supermarket chain operates Fareway stores primarily throughout Iowa but has also expanded into Illinois. Its more than 70 stores average about 23,500 sq. ft. Eschewing such amenities as video rentals, Fareway Stores sticks to the basics -- meat (all cut to order) and groceries only. Former Safeway workers Paul Beckwith and Fred Vitt founded Fareway Stores in 1938; the Beckwith family controls the company. Because of the founders' biblical beliefs, the stores are closed on Sundays, and if you've got a 2 a.m. brisket craving, you're out of luck: Not even shelf-stocking night crews can be found at the stores after hours.
