The success of Saratoga Olive Oil has led to an expansion with a new store at 1341 Saratoga Road in Moreau.
The company opened a facility that has a 7,500-square-foot warehouse and 3,000 square feet of retail space.
Owner Clint Braidwood said they had been searching the last couple years for a warehouse facility. He came close to purchasing land and building a warehouse with Munter Enterprises in W.J. Grande. Industrial Park, however, John Munter, owner of Munter Enterprises, suggested that they look into the facility in Moreau.
“He thought it would be a great fit for us. It was indeed a perfect fit for Saratoga Olive Oil Company. We now have warehouse space, the ability to expand our warehouse and corporate offices, a front retail space and a photo room in our front building,” said Braidwood.
The new spot will offer discounted and discontinued items, as well as bulk items, a concept Braidwood anticipates will do well.
Braidwood founded the business with his wife Barbara and brother Chad Braidwood in 2011. He said when the pandemic hit, they were all worried.
