By Lori EhdeKathy and Roger Fick of K&R Auto, Luverne, were the highest bidders on Luverne’s Bargain Center Friday when the building and its contents were sold in an auction.Roger Fick said there are no immediate definite plans for the 10,000-square-foot building, and he declined further comment.Roger and Carol Sorenson have owned and operated in the former Kenny’s Super Foods building since 2000.It had been vacant since 1997 when Larry Goebel quit the grocery business there.Prior to the Kenny’s building, the Bargain Center operated out of the blue building in the block currently occupied by the new Glen’s Food Center.The blue building was demolished to make way for the new grocery store, which was first Jubilee Foods until last year.Friday’s auction drew large crowds in the Bargain Center Parking lot, as inventory and equipment were liquidated in the going-out-of-business auction.Carpenter Auction Service, Lake Benton, handled the sale.
