Store History and Location

The Bay City General Store was built in 1915 by our neighbor's grandfather and was operated as a general merchandise store until 1973 when the owner passed away. According to all of the ledgers from the store a wide variety of merchandise was sold, bartered and traded -- everything from fabric to nails, gas, penny candy, groceries, clothes, seeds, everything you could possibly want. But the store was famous for its bologna and cheese sandwiches. Anyone who ever visited the Bay City General Store remembers vividly and fondly Mr. Weeks' bologna and cheese sandwiches where he sliced the bologna oh so thick with his butcher knife and piled on the cheese, all for 10 cents. As we get comfortable with this blog concept (what would Mr. Weeks think about all this) we'll show you more of our little store and our slice of paradise.
