John Sweeney, purchased our current building in 1946 which was in very poor condition. Attached to the rear of the building was a secondary wood frame barn that was demolished. In its’ place Sweeney constructed a concrete block building that currently houses our service bays. The front of the building was renovated and used a corner grocery store operated by Sweeney and his family for several years.
The repair shop opened for business in 1948 and remains in business today. The grocery store has undergone several changes of use over the years. The store went from the Sweeney’s to a tenant who ran the store for a few years. It was then converted to a drop store for Cadet Cleaners, a local laundry company from the 1960’s through the early 1990’s. Finally it was used as a jewelry store until 1998.
