There’s more to the story behind this photo! 🛒✨

This is the original Cooperative Food Store in the historic Village of Greendale, which first opened its doors on September 25, 1938, managed by Douglas McClure.

It was designed to foster a true neighbor-helping-neighbor spirit while ensuring the village's very first families had reliable access to fresh food and essentials.
