Moores Store : A 49 year old, one-time institution, is gone 2006-11-23 - West Page ST & Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY - Photo Ed Waggener.

Today the slightly less than one-half acre lot is nearly clear, after four days work by Jeff Hatcher, the contractor in charge of razing the building. Thomas and Tootie Moore built the store in 1957.

Thousands will remember the cold drinks, Snickers bars, and great fresh-cut sandwiches the Moores sold, when the store was as much a center of the community as the mission church.
