According to friends who work there, today is the final day that Big R of Greeley will be Big R of Greeley. Starting tomorrow they will be Murdoch's. We wish Murdoch's the best and welcome them to Greeley but Big R has left some very big boots to fill in the community.

When I first moved to Greeley in the late 80's Big R was one of the first stores I found and frequented in the area. It felt like the stores we had growing up in North Dakota. You could stop in one place and get everything you needed and the people were always so nice and friendly. Big R has been such a big supporter of K99 and the Good Morning Guys throughout the years. They have sponsored our Habajeeba show and so many other things that we have done. We could always count on Big R to have our backs.

Owner Rocky Francis has decided that 55 years is enough and sold it all to Murdoch's and will enjoy some much deserved down time to enjoy the fruits of his labor. Thank you to Big R for your years of serving the Greeley area. You will be missed.
