<\/a>“We’ve changed and adapted to the times with the eCommerce website,\u201d Ben says. \u201cWe use these tools to allow us to stay open year-round, providing employment for locals who would otherwise struggle to find work in the winter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tired of hearing people say, \u201cOh, I didn\u2019t know you were back here,\u201d (this is their fifth anniversary), the store now displays flags and other colorful signs of occupancy outside for all to see.<\/p>\n
Next door, Corner Drug has been in operation under various owners for more than 100 years.\u00a0Richard MacCrae bought it in 1998. When Walenta\u2019s Variety Store closed last fall, the MacCraes saw a need to offer some of those goods to their customers, so they re-vamped the entire drug store and started carrying some houseware items, party supplies, a dollar department, and then expanded their beach toys, school supplies, and summer items (fireworks, too!). <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had an overwhelming\u00a0response to the revamp,\u201d Ben says. \u201cAnd while people are very sad that Dan Walenta retired, they\u2019re happy that we are carrying so much of what he used to have.\u201d<\/p>\n
