Update Arlan’s Grocery Store

The City of Freeport and the Freeport Economic Development

Corporation have been notified that the re-opening of Arlan’s Grocery is

delayed to an estimated time frame of mid-September due to unforeseen

 damages from hurricane Beryl. Construction crews are working to

restore the building for normal operation. The City of Freeport and the

Freeport Economic Development Corporation will continue to work

closely with the property owner in this process.

As always, we thank you for your patience and support!

Thank you,
