In 1977, the feed store was opened by a man named Ross Richardson. As a result of COVID-19, they had to temporarily close in July 2020. In October 2020, The Feed Store was sold to David Stanks. This is where Stanks came in and bought the feed store to reopen it. Stanks kept the same menu, name, and location. There were a few minor changes.
