That store was once known as Doc Willoughby's Store. Doc and his wife owned and operated the store for many years. They actually lived there in a room in the back. We always stopped there when we visited my uncle's farm just down the road. I remember the old timey gas pump out front. I bought my first tube of BB's from Doc Willoughby's...probably around 1957
