Our story

Three owners since 1958. Same name, same family, not a chain.

Three owners

  2. 1971 Jim and Carlene Wente Buy the store and keep the name.

A building made for the store

In 2019 the store moved into a building made for it, at 480 Russell Plaza Drive in Ashland.

“It's been really cool seeing all of the different generations come in.”
