DULUTH, Minn. — Former employee Derek Medved plans to re-open a Milk House store that closed August 2014, according to the Duluth News Tribune.
“The store was a centerpiece for Gary,” said Medved in the article. “It’s a close-knit community, and the store was very missed. It served a great purpose. It’s just left a dark spot in the neighborhood.”
Medved worked as a cashier at the business when he was 16 before he became a manager, noted the article. He shared in the article that customers and employees knew each other by name.
