Three small town grocery stores are among five businesses to receive $5,000 grants from the state. Iowa Economic Development Authority spokesperson, Kannen Kappleman, says the grants are targeted at rural communities.
The La Perla Jarocha Store in Webster City which carries products from Latin America and other countries got one of the grants.
A grocery store in Pocahontas County also received a grant.
Kappleman says the shelf tags will allow the store to quickly make accurate price changes.
The business has to be in one of the 88 at least populous counties in Iowa.
