Bethel Island: Delta Sportsman Hardware Set for Today’s Grand Opening

by ECT

Delta Sportsman

Bethel Island has a Grand Opening event this morning as Delta Sportsman Hardware will be open for business. The event is scheduled for 10:00 am to 2:00 pm with a ribbon cutting at noon.

Information below was provided by Cha-Cha Cha of Bethel Island.

Following a dream, Amrik and Parmjit Sarkaria moved from India with their young children Raj, Andy, Sonny and Rupinder to America in the early 80’s. Amrik purchased the Bethel Market, and the Gateway Market on the Island, and was a friendly asset to the Island, his memorial service was standing room only when he passed.

He raised his children to be thankful for what they had, and to give back to the community in return. Following in the leadership and direction of their Father, Amrik’s children saw the need for a Hardware Store on the Island. To the delight of the Island residents, we will once again have a full service store. Right now items are still filling the shelves daily.

The Delta Sportsman Hardware is located at 6131 Bethel Island Road/ POB # 1205 / phone: 925.684.3300.

The plans are to have the store open 7days a week from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm once everything is in place for RV’s, Marine, Fishing, Home, Pets, and Gardening Supplies.

In speaking with Raj, you can see the excitement in his eyes over this new endeavor. He says that he hopes to keep his prices comparable to those of locations off the Island in order to benefit the residents.

Raj is married, with two sons ( 14 & 9). He is a resident of Oakley and Bethel Island. Member of the Chamber of Commerce, and graciously has opened space in the Laundromat for the Island’s Library. Always a contributor when there is a need on the Island is one of the wonderful things I adore that about Raj.

Today will be the GRAND OPENING at the Delta Sportsman from 10-2p. A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held at 12 noon. There will be a light BBQ, and raffles prizes (Those who win a prize, notifications will be posted at 12 noon the following day).

Please stop by and see what a fantastic supply of items the store already has. Personally I was delighted at seeing the two $1.00 items sections where I purchased one of everything.

You will be greeted by friendly salespersons Desiree Quick and Phil Kammerer.

Hope to see many of the Island residents on Saturday in support of this wonderful new business on the Island.
