Katama General Store re-opened for business slightly after noon on Thursday, welcoming a rush of eager shoppers searching for the perfect picnic food or just stopping by to check out the results of an eight-month remodel.

Over the offseason owners Jackie and Doug Korell demolished the old 1958 building to make way for a two story, 3,000-square-foot barn-style building and a reconfigured parking lot.

In a nod to the little red building it used to be, the wide swinging doors of the new Katama General Store are painted a vivid red. The space has been opened up and a wrap-around porch and crushed-shell seating area have been added to the front.

Nice makeover, Sometimes you have to let go of the old. Very tastefully done, both interior and exterior.
