Minnie Keeps Independent Grocer Strong On Local Street
Minnie Egelston runs Egelston's Market on S Sutphin Street and began with her late husband Carl in 1936 at 1729 Central Ave. Forty one years later she nows 70 and continues seven days a week, delivering to long-time customers who still pay weekly bills. She notes changes from supermarkets and frozen foods, defends independent grocers, and plans visits with eight grandchildren upon retirement.
