As a longtime SD customer, I checked their Web site - and they do deliver to 55411 and 55412. (I assume if they deliver there, they go to 55430, too.) SD's prices are not as competitive as they once were - they are definitely more than Cub but less than Lund's, even with the delivery charge. I am SURE they are less than the so-called "hood stores." However, here's one problem: you can generally only order once a week and have to order $80 worth of stuff to get the lower delivery charge. That's hard for someone living paycheck-to-paycheck or AFDC check-to-check. Still, it's a decent option for many and someone with a community organization or newspaper should contact the company and see if they want to market their services. http: //www.simondelivers.com David Brauer Kingfield Just a customer, not an investor!
