Kalona, IA (December 8, 2016)

Kalona Creamery, the newest member of the Open Gates Business Development Corporation family, is pleased to announce the opening of Kalona Creamery Shop & Deli on January 19, 2017. The much anticipated opening–originally scheduled for mid-December–has unfortunately been delayed due to additional improvements. Currently, our construction crews are busy finishing the retail space, installing counters and shelving, and adding finishing touches!

Mindy Seiffert, Director of Business Development for Open Gates Group, adds, “We are excited to finish this phase of the project. In 2017, our primary focus will be on the production facility at Kalona Creamery. We are looking forward to once again offering a unique tourist destination in the Kalona area.”

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

Photos of the renovation can be found on the Kalona Creamery Facebook page or at kalonacreamery.com.

A grand opening celebration is scheduled for Saturday, February 4, 2017.
