Beeker’s General Store in downtown Pemberville is excited to announce that a Tiedtke’s display to honor and celebrate the late grocery/department store from Toledo is on display in our store. Most adults in Northwest Ohio reminisce of days past visiting Tiedtke’s and many still have keepsakes from the store and business.
Beeker’s has memorialized items such as hat boxes, building signage, pastry boxes, wedding dresses, a nativity scene and more that were purchased from Tiedtke’s, photos of Tiedtke’s (along with written memories) and the like. The display “Holy Toledo, It’s Tiedtke’s” will be featured until January 6th as part of this year’s holiday season.
Please visit Beeker’s General Store at 226 E. Front St., Pemberville. Business hours are Monday – Saturday 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Sunday 12 to 4 p.m.
Tiedtke’s is a former grocery and department store chain based in Toledo. At its peak, the store, which began life as a grocery, occupied a huge building at Summit Street and Adams downtown, maintained an annex store two blocks away, and a branch store in north Toledo. The family-founded store changed hands several times before all locations closed by 1973. The original store building was destroyed by fire two years later.
