Our History

Moonshine Store was founded in 1889 by William St. Martz.  The store was originally located just north of the present building, but after this building burnt, a new Moonshine Store was built in 1912.  Moonshine has served as a gathering place, a grocery store, and a place for farmers and oil field workers to come for lunch.  Enid Misner was the first to start making cold cut sandwiches and hamburgers for lunch.  Helen and Roy Lee Tuttle bought the store from Enid in 1982.  When Helen took over, she continued the menu and added a variety of other sandwiches.  Until the early 1990's hamburgers were cooked on small electric griddles.  The first gas grill replaced them in 1993 and the second grill was added in 2004. With the help of family and friends, this piece of history will continue on.
