Western Auto Is Old Fashioned Mercantile And Fun To Shop Online
Western Auto began life in Missouri as a mail order house. At one point there were additionally 1200 Western Auto stores bejeweled across the nation in towns large and small. In 1987 a well known corporation bought Western Auto and disposed of what was left of it in 2003 to some other business. Nearly all of the stores closed in the man made identity crisis but you can still corral a few around.
Nearly all senior Americans who were opportune enough to have a Western Auto in their town recall them affectionately. Mayhap their first bicycle or BB gun came from the local Western Auto.
Of the remaining Western Auto stores, one stands out above the rest on account of even though the Western Auto distribution arrangement went by the wayside with the Western Auto sales, this particular store resolved to go on authentic to the Western Auto archetype.
Robinson Western Auto and Mercantile in Anniston Alabama is that discount store. The Western Auto architecture itself is a remembrance of the past. Sitting in the dead smack middle of Anniston Alabama on the corner of 10th and Noble Street, the construction is one of the earliest structures in town.
When you walk in to the store, even the on occasion working heaters date back to the 30′s and 40′s. The floors have braved the footsteps of the short dead, long dead, and present day warm and animate regular shopper alike. In the display window in front, you are likely to see a little red wagon sitting beside an old fashioned boys bicycle. Inside you’ll catch sight of a treasure trove of auto parts, bicycle parts, tires, chains, wood heaters, modern appliances, and lawn mowers.
In the vintage second floor, which is accessed by a spacious set of steps there are collectible trinkets of every kind. The shelves pretty well bulge with odds and ends that you really can’t live without. It’s precarious business bringing a child up the stairs, as you will not be permitted to leave without buying them something.
Even more disastrous, on the third floor, which is up a half flight of stairs, there is a raft of present-day toys that are so plentiful and agreeable, that even the primo well stocked modern super store pales in comparableness.
You know you are going back in time when you set foot in the building, for it’s something very special and will keep you amused far longer than your budget of time for the buying period.
And did I disclose that the proprietor of Western Auto in Anniston Alabama is also the Lord High Mayor of the town? No fooling.
Just as Western Auto began as a mail order operation, Western Auto Anniston continues the tradition by mail and by the Internet. You can go shopping online for anything they have, and they’ll promptly send your purchase by mail or by truck. Western Auto was…and is, a continuing American tradition!
Western Auto Anniston is genuinely where the past meets the future.
