Kalona Creamery, part of the Open Gates Group family, has announced their Shop & Deli will open its doors in December 2016. The grand opening, which was originally scheduled for late fall, has been delayed. Construction crews are finishing the retail space, installing doors and windows, including one that is handicap accessible.

The Kalona Creamery Shop & Deli, located on Highway 1 outside Kalona, Iowa, will feature numerous products made in Iowa. These products include cheese curds, specialty meats and cheeses, pastries, coffee, and much more! The Shop & Deli will also feature delicious, high quality-made fresh daily- soups, salads, and sandwiches.

Kalona Creamery, formerly Twin County Dairy, Inc., closed its doors in September of 2014.  Since then, the rural community and local economic development authorities have been watching this property closely.  Bill Evans, Open Gates CEO, says, “We are pleased with the progress we’ve made at Kalona Creamery and can’t wait to open our doors to the community this winter!”
