There was a little grocery store on the corner of Gettysburg and 3rd Street. I think it was called Stoffle's Market.

There was a market called Cubbies on the west side. Probably at 3rd and Summit. My aunt and uncle lived in that area a long time. My uncle would have to chain his car hood so the locals would not steal his battery. After awhile, they just took the whole car.

James, Ha Ha, that's like my daughter buying a safe after a break-in at her house. Now they can just see where the good stuff is and take the whole safe!

Bolt the safe to the floor or wall and keep 1 paperclip inside. Hide the valuables somewhere else.

We had a neighborhood store in Kettering which was called (Jacks). As kids we would always go in their buying penny candy and if we didnt have enough change, we were told we could bring it in the next time we were there. Not many places that still do that, i`ll bet?

The corner mkts's still are located along Huffman ave and when first moving to Dayton in 1991 the corner mkt was still open at Eugene and Seminary. Decades ago just about every area was covered by a small mkt where owners usually lived above. Evidence is everywhere of those mkts although no longer operating. Kettering also had its mkts but not in the numbers. There was a place called the Butcher block in the southern hills area which remained open it seems into the late 90's. Merrill mk was located on Wilmington pike and was a regular customer as they had excellent meats and deli.

Definitely remember Monkey Millers and believe that odd house or whatever they had is now out at the entrance of Stubbs park in Centerville.

There is one of the old mom & pop grocery stores at the corner of Steele Ave and Pierce St in the east end. The store is long gone, but the building is still there. The signage still remains and the place was called Granato's. It looks like its been closed up for quite some time. Haven't seen any posts on this subject about it. Anyone here recall it?

Any of you old Beavercreek guys remember the name of the little mom & pop market on Fairfield Rd where "Beavercreek Florists" is now? In the early 60s, if we were good, on Sundays we would get to take a ride in the car and stop there for a bottle of pop. Hard to believe such a trivia thing by today's standards was such a big deal to a five year old back in the day.

Mark1984 I remember Granato's. It was a very popular neighborhood grocery store. I had a close friend whose grandmother lived nearby and sometimes she sent us on errands there. Seems to me that she had a nickname for the owner back in the 1950's - something like "Scroogie."

Wonderful memories

I remember Granato's well, but more by its popular name: Bud's. It was crammed full of groceries, used comic books, penny candy, and even Aurora models. "Bud" was Lawrence Warren Granato (1923-1992), a gruff little Danny DeVito type. He used to drive us comics collectors crazy because he had a file cabinet of prime stuff in the back that he was holding on to for BIG bucks, and wouldn't let us see.

Estridge Grocery on the westside. My Grandparents shopped there for 40yrs. Mr. Estridge was the best, treated me like gold. Always gave me a banana, and was my Grandpa's connection to his bookie. They had me carry the cash between them and use to laugh. Years later I would never bet on anything but back then with Grandpa sure was fun to bet on the horse races. Also remember the old butcher shop in the back. Thank you Mr. Estridge and family God Bless and what great memory, we loved coming to your store. Now years later we operate a small store funny. Hope we do half as good as they did. 60' to the early mid 70's for me then.

bill628... I do remmeber Decks across the street from
jefferson elem.. I also went to CW and lived on superior ave from 54 to 69. I don't see too much about that area on this site. We called it Lower Dayton View. Anyway we had two side by side small store at the corner of Superior & Kumler. One was called George's the other called Bach's. George actually owned the building and Mrs. Bach rented from him. She would let you run a tab so that is where we shopped.

Broadway & Riverview on the West side..the other one was directly across the street from Edison Elem. Sch. on N. Broadway...ran by a man and his wife, their last name was Kluff (or Cluff) they were German folks. Got a lot of penny candy there, Cup-cakes, lunch meat at Jack's. Both are gone now.

Growing up in the College Hill area of Upper Dayton View we had a market called Owens on Cornell Drive. They always had tongue laying on ice in the meat counter. Yuck!! At the end of your transaction they would give you tickets with numbers on them and you would keep half and put the other half in a box. I think you could win prizes every week if your ticket was posted. Anyone remember this?

Paula - The market on Cornell is still there but with a different name. I think it's called Cornell Meat King or something similar. I lived for a year around the corner on Harold Drive. It was a nice neighborhood then but I won't even drive through there now.

I grew up in Dayton View in the 50s and attended Jefferson. We always called it the school store since we went in before and after school. I would buy a small Blue Bird Pie when we were going back to school after lunch. Sometime in the mid 50s it became Neighbors Market and the family that owned it lived above the store for several years. Their last name was Neighbors. They had a daughter named Sue that I always thought was a fox. Had a crush on her back then. I remember the markets at Superior and Kumler also. Was another market at Lexington and Catalpa in the front of the house and the family lived behind and above the store. Was a barber shop in the west side of the building called Mike's. I lived by Princeton Park from 50-63. Great looking back on all this. Does anyone remember the name of the electrical company that was in a large garage on Access Rd? This was on the south side of the park. I can picture the large sign they had on the roof but can't remember the name of the company.

Just reading some of the posts and brought back a memory of something from my childhood at neighborhood markets. Does anyone remember “punch boards”? They were cardboard or paper boards with lots of little round numbered inserts and you punched them out and if you had the right number you could win a prize. I think it cost a nominal amount to punch a number. Could those have been a forerunner of slot machines? I wonder……..

Does anyone remember a small grocery on Irwin Street in Dayton owned and managed by Francis Bertsch. It was owned by him from the late twenties and into the early thirties. He is listed on the 1930 census at this grocery business. He lived there with his sister who helped in the grocery. They lived upstairs in the same building.

I was born in 1946 at the corner of Colwick & Martel in Belmont. There used to be a small corner grocery at the corner of Smithville and Kemper. I remember walking up there a few times a week with my Mom. The owner would always take the groceries and add them up and put the charges on a tab, that my Dad would pay when he got paid every month. He would also put the groceries in the back of his car and take them to our house if it was more than one bag. I loved the good ole days. I don't remember the name of the market, and the building was torn down several years ago. I think ther is a small apartment building there now, or something like it. I remember in the spring on Saturday, Dad would go to the market with me and buy me a kite. 10cents. We would walk over to the Belmont School yard on the side, and Dad would put the kite together for me and we'd fly it a while till it got broken or I just got tired. I think at the time I was maybe 5 years old. I sure wish I knew the name of that corner market !

I remember Bill Green's grocery at the corner of Leonhard St. and Maryland Ave. in Old North Dayton. My dad really liked the meat counter there. This was in the 50's and early 60's. I left Dayton in 61 and don't know when this place closed down. The last time I was by there it was empty.

Dawn100, if I am remembering correctly, that was a used book store maybe 5-6 years ago. I also 5remember going into the grocery there back in the early 60s, with a cousin who lived on Kennedy just off Watervliet.
