Us Now
From Trevor:
”We grew up just 5 miles down the road from the Cow Lake Store. A great deal of our childhood was spent stopping in for candy and burgers with our entire family. I can especially remember how well Randy Beagle treated all of us and how well respected he was in the community.
It’s been hard seeing this landmark of Clearwater county closed these past few years. Always driving by and seeing an empty lot. Remembering all the times stopping for basic needs, not having to drive the extra distance to Rocky. We’ve both felt for the past few years that we could be the ones to bring this property back to life. To bring a new energy and revive the spirit this place once had.
Cow Lake Store offers so much to so many in the community, we couldn’t be happier with the overwhelming response and excitement to have us bring it back to you”
