I found this information about 111 E. 4th Street where the grocery store was located. If you were to talk by this area, you would notice the hitching ring in the sidewalk. No one is sure about the dates of occupancy for these grocery stores, but this is the best sense that she could make of it…This was the last location of Alstadt Grocery (1957-1970). Alstadt Grocery was operated by W. V. Alstadt and his son, Melvyn, until 1970.
A little confusing, but…the building at 324 Main was owned by G. H. "Cap" Hardin, who operated a mercantile and grocery business there. Then Alstadt Grocery occupied the Hardin building at 324 Main. Alstadt stayed in the Hardin building until 1957, when Dortch's Supermarket, run by Vernon Dortch, moved into the Hardin Building and Alstadt came here to 111 E. 4th. Dortch later moved to a building on the site of the current Rector Public Library at 121 W. 4th.
