Cub Foods Gives a Boost to the Fridley Historical Society

Cub Foods' Fridley supermarket  has given a big boost to the Fridley Historical Society.

Store manager Mark Halvorson this past Thursday presented the history group with a $1,500 check as part of the Fridley Cub's grand re-opening in mid-July and community outreach.
"We thought it would be a nice gesture," Halvorson told Fridley Patch. 

Dorothy Gargaro, a member of the Historical Society board, said, "We received the donation because of the history Cub has in Fridley. Cub's first store was in Fridley." (That was in 1968)

In return, the Historical Society presented Halvorson its Windmill award for Cub Foods' tradition of supporting the community.
