Shop Local with Ideal Market

Host Leesa Boone welcomes listeners to the Shop Local Show with weather notes and streams live on 104.9 WWKY’s Facebook while talking with guest Kim Simons of Ideal Market. They mention National I Love My Dentist Day, discuss finding a dentist, and share other “national days.” Kim updates progress on Ideal Market’s new location at 1115 East Center Street, targeting a June 11 soft opening followed by a later grand opening with giveaways and partners like Kentucky Lottery and marathon representatives; the store will look and feel different, include a Subway plus a deli hot bar and breakfast (but no cut sandwiches), and add a new custom coffee bar. Kim promotes “Free Frazil Fridays” all June—free slushies with store cups—encouraging posts tagging Ideal Market with #theshoplocalshow and #FreeFrizzleFriday for a month-end drawing for a Ninja slushie maker. Lisa and Kim emphasize marketing beyond social algorithms, supporting small businesses, and preview upcoming sponsors and remotes.
