EDMOND — Crest Foods is holding off on its future store in Edmond as the company looks to expand its footprint near Yukon and Mustang amid increased competition from new WinCo stores in the Oklahoma City area.

"We are pulling back on the reins," said Bruce Harroz, president of Crest. "We want to keep our prices low."

The company is looking to push forward on two stores with one in Yukon and Mustang, but the exact locations have not been released.

The company purchased 16.72-acres of land several years ago on the northwest corner of Sooner Road and Covell Road in Edmond, and last fall began dirt work preparing a pad site.
