“The jobs that Buy Low Market brings to the area open an exciting and long awaited new chapter for our community,” Councilman Ricki Y. Barlow said. “Buy Low offers a new, convenient place to shop and a new, convenient place to work; a win-win that will be an economic boost during these tough times.”
