Comment: We are having a new modular trailer installed and will be moving in the next week or two. Right now, I have about 120 sq ft of space and when I move into the new building, I will have about 930 sq ft. Needless to say, we are very excited. The PO has been in a grocery store ever since it's been in existence. The oldest gentleman around is 85 and he said it was in a store when he was born. We don't really know the exact date or how many years it's been in a store. I would like to know but haven't delved into the history of it. Gainestown is filled with a lot of history and old houses and an old church.
