It was really heart breaking to see it close. My dad always told us kids that Emmaville had two things to offer “Cleanlyness and Convenience”. Everything else was simply stuff that folks could get anywhere else. But, they won’t if you keep these two things front and center. I hope my dad’s advice does you well and I’m looking forward to stopping by soon. Please say Hi to Clayton for me.

We owned the store from 1970 until just after my dad died in 1999. My family is so excited to see the enthusiasm and dedication you have for my childhood home. It is a good place, frequented by the best people in the world. I wish you all the best and if we're in MN this summer, we will certainly stop by!

Please make sure that you keep up the fish and deer pictures from the local area.
