NEW DIERBERGS IN LAKE ST. LOUIS SHOWCASES STORE OF THE FUTURE
On November 2nd Dierbergs opened up a futuristic new outpost in Lake St. Louis. This is not your grandfathers’ grocery store. The 71,000 sq. ft. space is the first example of a new store layout and design that the company indicates will act as the blueprint for future stores and re-designs. Greg Dierberg, President and CEO of the company which bears his name says-
“Customers can expect the same level of customer service and our dedication to quality and selection, consistent with other Dierbergs locations; and we hope they will enjoy the new design and special touches that add a fresh and energetic ambiance throughout the store.”
This new location is Dierbergs’ 26th store in the St. Louis area and is located at the southwest corner of Ronald Reagan Drive and Orf Road in Lake St. Louis, next to Lowes at Hawks Ridge.
Good Samaritan Stays With Trapped Teen After Horrific Crash
A young, 17-year-old driver survived a horrific crash on Highway DD that left him with only scratches and bruises after he fell asleep at the wheel and swerved across the highway, crashed through the guardrail, flipped several times, and landed 30-feet away from the highway in a creek.
After this happened, Karin Orf was traveling down Highway DD with her daughter when she realized something was wrong on the highway. She turned around and heard the trapped teen yelling at the top of his lungs for help. Karin climbed down the ravine and into the creek to find him trapped in the car by his seatbelt unable to break free. She stayed with the lad while her daughter called 911. Karin is a true St. Charles County hero and like the Biblical parable of the Good Samaritan, did not pass by an injured neighbor without doing all she could to assist providing comfort and care.
