Zimmerman's Country Store

| | Comments (0)

LZim1.jpgI remembered Zimmerman's country store in Intercourse from a visit a couple years ago, so I wanted to go back. I thought it was neat how they sold everything from groceries and hardware to lanterns and bonnets.
Walking around the place, though, I was confused. It was just a supermarket now. The girl at the register told me they recently expanded the hardware and dry goods section into its own store.
When I stepped outside with a six-pack of birch beer in tow -- I couldn't resist -- I noticed the modern-looking Zimmerman's True Value Hardware store set back from the road with a large parking lot and a long rail for hitching horses and buggies.
Inside, it looked like any hardware store -- except for the aisle stocked with straw hats and the largest selection of lamp oil and kerosene lamps I've ever seen.
