Hey, Fox...I remember when that place was Stan's Place. Nigel, my (first) wife worked at Pamida in 73. It must have come in a few years before that, but it was called Gibsons when it first opened. Before that, she worked a couple years at the Holiday Station store on G-view Ave. (Now a machine shop)


Stan's Place is a name I don't recall.  Was it a bar?

 

I believe Gibsons changed to Pamida-Gibson after a few years. 

 

When we first moved to town, my wife worked at Amys, a clothing store in the mall.  I remember Woolworths/Wal-Mart on the east end, but can't recall what the anchor store was on the west, where Younkers now resides.  I know it was a Staples, but not for long. 


The anchor store on the other end was Montgomery Ward originally. After Pamida it was Anthony's for a while.

Aha.....of course.  Montgomery Ward, and then Petersen's?

Stan's was pizza and beer.
