This is not a mom and pop store we're talking about....this is McDonalds.

But I suspect you already know that big (chain) stores can power buy their inventory & therefore sell for less. Btw power buy meaning buying in volume at a cheaper price. Mom & pop stores in a geographical location larger than Wellsville can perhaps sell an ice cream cone for .50, what is their population in Columbiana? The demographics of an area have to support a business owners plan. Shop local is still a good thing even if you have to leave the village for certain items, get what you can here. In the meantime if you want to spend $5.00 in gas driving to Columbiana to get ice cream for .50; go for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236916007489430938.post-48349324651021533022011-06-17T21:01:40.374-04:002011-06-17T21:01:40.374-04:00And everything was more expensive at the Ace Hardw...And everything was more expensive at the Ace Hardware on Broadway. But they were good guys who always had what you needed and they would get it for you if they did not have it. I patronized there store while I was re-building my house and I could have bought things cheaper elsewhere. Now if you need a bolt or a nut or a screw or even a 2x4, you have to go to Milligan’s or Bowyer’s to get it. That .25 cent screw at Ace that you could get at Milligan’s for .15 cents now costs you almost a dollar just to drive to East Liverpool and back. But………. You saved .10 cents…. Think about wanting an ice cream cone and having to go to East Liverpool to get one. With the cost of gas these days, what have you saved? Think about it and think hard!Tyroneshoelacesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2236916007489430938.post-25462554047712339412011-06-17T18:02:50.036-04:002011-06-17T18:02:50.036-04:00why the hell would columbiana want to SELL its sta...why the hell would columbiana want to SELL its statue?

Perhaps they would be amendable to selling it.<br /><br />Also why is it that whenever I try to shop Wellsville anything I find I can get for less elsewhere? Even an ice cream cone at McDonalds that is only 50 cents in Columbiana or 80 cents in Calcutta is $1.00 in Wellsville. Other things are priced similarly.confusednomorenoreply@blogger.com
