History
The Landing Store originally stood on the right hand corner of Darrel's Bridge Road in 1872. It was known as the Samuel Lord store before 1900. In 1913, it was purchased it and moved to it's present location, known as the Way Side Cash Grocery before 1920. Jesse Ham, operated a shoe repair shop downtown, rented the building in 1920. He sold groceries, candy and ice cream and lived in the back of the store. On September 4, 1925 the building caught fire and was destroyed. Following the fire, Ham purchased the building and rebuilt it is it stands today. Charred beams can still be seen today suggesting that parts of the old store were reused when it was rebuilt. Ham died on May 1, 1930. It is rumored that the store is haunted with his presence. Since that time many owners have owned and operated the store as a local grocery store. The current owners today, Dan & Ashley Breton, make sure that store stays true to it's roots in addition to providing delicious eats!
