A family grocery store that's been helping Wichita bus riders

Beth Golay

Look east from the Wichita Transit Center and you’ll see something rare: a grocery store in downtown Wichita. Ray Sales Company has served downtown residents for decades, and that includes bus riders who drift over from the Transit Center. In this month’s En Route, Beth Golay explains the history behind the store.


Beth Golay goes En Route with transit riders across Wichita. Her conversations are featured monthly on The Range. Follow her on Twitter @BethGolay, or you can probably track her down on Route 21.

Beth Golay is KMUW's Director of Marketing and Digital Content. She is the host of the KMUW podcast Marginalia, co-host with Suzanne Perez of the Books & Whatnot podcast, creator of the podcast You're Saying It Wrong, creator of KMUW's daily news podcast Wichita's Early Edition, and NPR StoryLab Workshop team member on the award-winning podcast My Fellow Kansans.
