Wagners Community Store
Anyone who grew up during the 1950's-1970's in Manor Ridge (Lancaster County Pennsylvania) will remember the Wagners Community Store.
The actual name of the store was the Manor Ridge Community Store, but everyone simply called it "Wagners" or for us kids it was simply "Wags".
Owned and operated by Mr and Mrs Wagner, the store was located at the intersection of Manor Ridge Drive and Hawthorn (sometimes spelled Hawthorne) Drive. It operated from the early 1950's until it closed around 1976-1977.
This blog will be a place for people to come and reminesce about the store, the times, the neighborhood, the community, and the Wagners.

Hi Pat,
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. Many great memories of Wagners. My fondest memory is the summer bike rides from Heritage Ave to Manor Ridge Dr several times a week to buy penny candy and baseball cards. If you enlarge the above photo, I wonder if you can see Mrs Wagner at the counter through the pane glass window?
Thanks again.
