Roscoe General Store reopens
Roscoe General Store in Roscoe Village had a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, June 30. The store reopened on May 6 after being closed for a few weeks for renovations.
COSHOCTON – The Roscoe General Store in Roscoe Village had its grand reopening on Thursday, June 30 at 10 a.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The building reopened on May 6 after being purchased by Roscoe Junction, LLC, owned and operated by the McKenna Family.
“We are thrilled to be reopening the General Store in Roscoe,” said Jan Myers, director of marketing and operations for Junction Enterprises. “This has been an icon for decades. We love restoring buildings like this and keeping them for future generations.”
All three floors of the General Store are now open and feature antiques, collectables, a holiday store in the basement, and the store’s famous homemade fudge is still available for purchase.
“I’m really happy that locals are starting to support us,” said Teri Misener. “We don’t want to be just a tourist place. With the local support, it keeps us in business year-round and people employed.”
Mayor Steve Mercer attended the ribbon cutting and said he believes Roscoe Village is entering back into a restoring phase.
“Without entrepreneurs, we would dry up,” he said. “But we aren’t going to because we have people like this.”
During the ribbon cutting ceremony, people were invited to tour the building and the new merchandise and sample some of the fudge and other foods.
The Roscoe General Store building was built in 1870 by John Barkhurst as a drug store and general store. The building underwent a renovation throughout the month of April after Roscoe Junction LLC’s purchase in March. It has all new windows, new paint, a new sign, and new outdoor lighting.
The Roscoe General Store is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
