For the first time in 24 years, STEPHAN'S IGA is changing its hours.

Effective Jan. 1, the Flora grocery will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to storeowner Trent Stephan.

"The store is busy during the main part of the day," he said, "but customers' habits have changed, and they're not shopping as much during the first hour (7 to 8 a.m.) and last two hours of the day (8 to 10 p.m.)"

"The new hours will be for the winter, and then we'll reevaluate in the spring," he said.

Stephan stated that he welcomes feedback from his customers.

Holsapple and Co. CPAs, Delphi, has been purchased by BAKER-MILLIGAN CPAs, Monticello, in a deal that became effective Nov. 24.

The business name is now Baker-Milligan CPAs, with the Delphi business location remaining the same at 222 Franklin St. Owner Vickie Holsapple is serving as a consultant during the transition. Her employees, Lori Dyer and Connie Weishaar, are now employees of Baker- Milligan CPAs.

In a letter to her clients, Holsapple said that combining the two firms would enhance the service to her clients and be good for the Delphi community at large.

Jeff Milligan is president of Baker-Milligan CPAs. The Monticello office is located at 218 S. Main St.
