GENTRY -- While many businesses are temporarily closing their doors due to the coronavirus pandemic, a new business opened on Friday in Gentry, offering bulk foods, deli meats and cheeses.

D&J Bulkworks opened at 140 W. Main Street in Gentry, with shelves full of bulk foods, dried beans and rice, dried fruit, nuts, cereals, spices, flour, sugar, pasta, and candy, too. And the new business was busy, with some items selling quickly.

The business is owned and operated by Judy Schwartz and Del Bert.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. until noon on Saturdays.

A ribbon-cutting is being planned in a few weeks, Schwartz said.
