A brief history: This variety store opened in September 1967 at 933 MacDade Boulevard. The store offered everything from screws for your sink to toilet paper. Fred Winner with his wife Jeanette operated this successful neighborhood 5 & 10 store for almost 25 years. His motto was "If I don't have it, I will find a way to get it for you." It worked. Everyone loved coming to his store knowing that they would be able to get what they needed from him. After his wife died in 1986 and with the changing economy, Fred decided to add check cashing services to his business and hired three local employees to handle it. Unfortunately on February 18, 1993 Mr. Winner was tragically murdered in front of his stores during a robbery. The money was never recovered and the case remains unsolved.
Today an appliance store stores some of its appliances in the building.
