The Hunt Store History
The Hunt Store, or “The Store” as the locals call it, has been in existence in its current location for over 67 years. Zander’s Grocery was opened in 1946 by Whitlock “Whit” Zander and W. B. “Banks” Kellogg. Kellogg owned the land the store was built on and Whit had previously worked at the Hardin Grocery Store as a butcher and helper. The Hardin Grocery Store was located upriver from The Hunt Crossing at the Hwy 39 & Hwy 1340 intersection. The post office and a gas station were also located in this building during this period. Today, Robert Tomlin construction occupies the building.
Over the years there have been a variety of owners of The Store, and with each owner, The Store takes on a greater role in serving the Hunt community. Beginning with the refrigerated food lockers that Zander rented to locals for their meat and venison to the addition of the town’s only bank by Jack and Janet Parks. This approach to serving the community has led The Store, in many ways, to become much more than just a store.
The community center, emergency center, meeting point, drop off point and local hang out are all words that describe The Store today. Whether it is live music events or café’ dining for the whole family, Hunt School and Ingram School events and meetings or a soap box for local politicians The Store is the hub for all Hunt area activity.
Hunt Store and The Locals One of the charming customs The Store has developed over the years is the early morning gathering of locals around the fireplace and in the café’ discussing the day’s news and activities. Often times waiting on the porch for The Store to open, they enter The Store not as a customer, but as an employee as they help bring in the newspapers, put down chairs and make the coffee. Many will come again for lunch or to enjoy beers on The Patio in the afternoon and all have become an important cog in the daily life of The Store.
