There are two new owners of the Calais and Orono IGAs. David Pike and Bob Craft have been in the business for many years together and have decided to make a big step in their careers. 

“I worked for Eddie and Kathy Bell for 28 years. I started my freshman year of high school at 14 years old, bagging groceries. I worked my way up to the produce department, the meat department, worked a little bit in the deli and closed the store. When I was 22, Eddie opened Orono and I went to Orono to help run that store,” said Craft.
