This is Mrs. Breslin's store, it was set up as a general store, where you had to give that person your list and they chose everything for you. Like right now this young lady is scooping crackers into a bag. You better like that flavor because its the only one they have.
They sell plenty of bread, and a lot of cake. And as long as you like cake by the slice or a small box of cake, then you are in luck, they have that. You would travel from section to section in the store as she placed your order. Don't expect a big shopping trip here, there just wasn't a lot of food in these stores.
