Farrier’s IGA Thriftway, early 60’s

Farrier’s Open House at their new 415 N Main location, March 31. 1954. Click to expand.

Mutt Farrier opened his first Miami store in 1938, and was a longtime familiar face in the grocery business. This was his third and final location, built brand new in 1954. It was also my mom’s favorite place to buy groceries, and thus an important part of my own childhood.

Farrier’s yearbook ad, 1961

Farrier’s was the lone inhabitant of this location, an expansion into undeveloped land at the time, from 1954 to sometime in the 70’s.
