The next time you shop at Ingles you might notice a small change in scenery!

According to T.J. Burgess, Store Manager at Ingles Supermarket in East Ellijay, the store is currently splitting its isles to make things more convenient and time friendly for its customers.

Ingles in East Ellijay is located at 100 Old Orchard Square next to Hwy 515.
