Eby's Store began as a family owned business, and has remained in the family to this day. In 1945 Martin and Bessie Buckwalter bought the business from George Withers. They and their 8 children lived in the house attached to the store, and ran the business together. At that time customers did not "shop" for themselves.
They brought their list of needs, and Martin and Bessie would gather the items by hand. Everything was itemized on a bill pad, and added together by hand. The groceries were packed in baskets the customers brought with them, or in empty cardboard boxes. Grocery shopping was a social event; people came to hear the latest news, or to share something new.

Recently found this friendly store. It's like a full grocery store squished into a more convenience store size. The prices on many things are convenience store prices but they can have some good deals as well, on things like meat. The staff is friendly and it's nice to shop/support at a local business.

This is a nice little grocery store. The people were very friendly and helpful. I only went in for ice, you have to walk through the store to get to it, but I did browse a little. The prices seemed good and cheap the only thing I noticed was that the red meat didn't look to good. It was very dark and the fatty parts looked brown so I wouldn't have gotten any of the meat and I would check the dates on other products.

It's great having a small local store right down the street for emergencies... but honestly that's really what it's best for. Best for when you forgot something from the other grocery store and want to run out real quick cause you don't feel like driving 20 minutes. They do, at times, have good sales on meat and other items, but all in all their prices are not competitive. Totally understandable since its small and located in a small town away from the major retailers. My biggest complaint is that produce is limited, and as of late, not good. Everything that I've purchased on my last 3 or 4 trips
