This month we are featuring two historic photos from the Story City Maid Rite. It was located at 519 Pennsylvania Ave. These photos have been recently donated to the Historical Society by Gerry Anderson. Gerry’s parents, Johnny & Lucille Egenes, owned the Maid Rite for about 19 years from early 1950s through the 1960s. There were 11 stools around the counter. Maid Rites cost 24¢ each or 5/$1, pie was 15¢, bottle of pop 10¢, and a cookie was 5¢. Thanks to Gerry for donating these photos. If you have old photos of former businesses in Story City that you’d like to share, please contact the Historical Society.

I remember the place very well. Johnny and Lucille were great to work for and so were the girls. Bessie Olson was so much fun, too. Sure put a lot of hungry customers through that little place every lunch hour!!!
