History
The historic store setting on the corner of Butte and Beavercreek Roads has an interesting past. At one time or another in the history of the store, besides shopping for groceries, dry goods, animal feed and the basic necessities, the community was able to enjoy many other social activities and local services. The store has offered itself out as a voting location, Sunday school, grange meetings, dance hall, hunter safety classes and has even had professional ladies work out of the store's upper floor. Recently, Espresso was added, a more complete menu was developed for the Eatery, jewelry, t-shirts, posters and gift items were added. Keeping with history and the social impact of the store, regular events are planned and held upstairs and in the Eatery for the benefit of the community. Handmade soaps and lotions are made on site and offered to the community for sale as a way to return to a more local farmers market approach
