By Todd Morgan

Wade Pearson, Co-CEO of the Home of Economy chain of stores located in Jamestown, Grand Forks, Devils Lake, Minot and Williston couldn’t be more pleased with how fast the move was completed and how nice, clean and bright store looks. The other CEO is his brother.
“We’ve known for a longtime that we had to something with our Grafton store. This location is a perfect fit for us as it more similar in size with our other locations,” he said.
Grafton was the smallest of the company’s six stores and with the lease of the former Denny’s building the store has more than tripled its size. This new room will allow the store to stock the same merchandise they have in its other stores.
