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.
