Newberry's store operated at 10 East Main St from about 1937 to 1955 before moving into their new building at 116 East Main. The store had a 20 year run here before vacating in 1975. The building was converted into the Mini-Mall which ran from 1978 to 1988, and was finally razed shortly after that to eventually become Heritage Park.
