The store is a landmark of this community. With its 60 year history in Wagarville, people around town are happy to see it back open again. New owners have taken up the reigns. They say it will be a challenge to keep this store going, but it’s something Ray Wheat would have wanted. Wheat was a well known man in the community. When we first reported this story back in December friends told us the slain shop owner always let people get what they needed, sometimes when they didn’t even have the money to pay for it. I’ll have more on the store’s reopening later today.
