The original Union Store was on Third Street where the Christian Church now stands. The little store at the corner of Third and Virginia Avenue was Printz’s Store.
In 1911, H. P. Griffith opened a store here and operated it until 1923, when he moved to front Street where he opened another store. The store on Virginia Avenue then became the Union Store until it was torn down to make way for the Centel Telephone Building.
The Union Store was a cooperative that offered better prices of their goods sold to membership.
