Elma Locker & Grocery, Inc. is owned and operated by Roger and Karen Meirick, and Joe and Pat Meirick.  Joe and Roger are cousins.  Together they decided the town of Elma, IA and surrounding communities needed this kind of business after the old grocery store and the old locker closed their doors here in Elma, IA.
