Murphy's Food King

Murphy's Food King We are a full-service grocery store located in Kentland. We look forward to serving you! He re-named the store Murphy’s Food King.

In 1944 Charles and Dorothea Murphy opened Murphy’s IGA Super Store on Graham Street in Kentland. The couple ran the store up until June 10, 1947 when a fire destroyed the building. In late September Murphy’s relocated in the former Nash dealer building on Graham street and named the store Murphy’s Super Market. Sometime in 1960 Charles and Dorothea retired from the business and handed the respons

ibility to their son David Murphy. Dave made the decision to move the super market to the empty Ford dealership on Dunlap street where it currently sits today. Today Murphy’s Food King is in it’s third generation of family service. When David passed away in 2006 the business was taken over by his daughter Colleen Clifton and Murphy’s Food King is currently operated by Charles and Dorothea’s grandchildren, Colleen Clifton and Shannon Hutsell.

AN IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

You wake up late for school, man you don't want to go.
You ask your Mom "Please?" but she still says: PINWHEELS NOW AVAILABLE IN THE MEAT CASE!

You gotta FIGHT! For your RIGHT! To PIIIIIN-WHEELS!

You don't have to worry about fighting for Pinwheels if you're following Our Posts- Head on down to Murphy's and grab some Pinwheels for this weekend! Dinner tonight, Lunch tomorrow, or even a Possible Sunday Brunch option, you can't really go wrong at anytime with Pinwheels!

We have plenty, but they move fast, stop in (or call) to be sure you can get the amount that you want!

Happy Grilling,

AN IMPORTANT REMINDER:

The 107th Pun'Kin Vine Fair is almost upon Us! Running July 13-18, head out and enjoy The Events, The Exhibits, and (most of all- for Us anyway) THE FOOD!

Grandstand Events even kick off tomorrow, Saturday July 11, at Noon with Harness Racing!

Throughout the week, We will keep you updated with the Daily Schedule- including events at both the Free Stage and at The Grandstand! Another Important Reminder- There are NO PRINTED FAIR BOOKS, due to expense the Fair has gone to an App which can be found on Google Play as well as the Apple App Store- search "Newton County Fair" and you'll recognize the logo! The App is pretty handy and easy to use, We'll miss the books, but this is a useful upgrade (It shows the full schedule of events, specific schedules for The Grandstand and The Free Stage, even a Map if it's your first time here, as well as other important info).

This is a busy, hot week for everyone, with a lot of travel and moving pieces, so be careful on your trips and as You're out and about enjoying The Fair!

Good Luck to All Those Participating in The Fair,

And As Always,

Thanks for Shopping at Murphy's!
