A big day for the Kootenay Co-op which opened its new store.
At the front of the line at 7:30 this morning was Deborah Ryder of Slocan Park.
She was the last customer at the old location and wanted to be the first at the new one.
Co-op board president Abra Brynne says it realizes a longtime dream.
The new store is 20,000Â square feet and is part of the Nelson Commons project at the east end of Baker Street.
