During the 1940s, Perry & Sons (I. Alph Perry a.k.a. Alph Sr., Clifton Perry and their father, C.C. Perry) owned and operated a grocery store and meat market on the north side of the square. The store was located approximately in the area where the Laundromat presently sits. They sold groceries and butchered meat here up until the late 1940s. The store was sold as part of a trade for bottomland pasture out on String Prairie (FM 696).
