Reading this brings back so many memories of my dear sister-in-law Freda. Susan, Stephen, and I will never forget the love and close family feelings on our visits to the famous family store. We love you.

Mike- thanks for sharing your memories of Freda and her store – how cool that it’s become part of your family history as well! I’ll check up on Freda when we return to Phoenixville, hopefully she was just posting one of her many hand-written signs and that she’s still as spry and chipper as ever!

Great story and photos! Thank you for posting this! We found Freda a few years ago when our boys were little and we lived in Phoenixville. The boys are now teenagers and they still love to go there. Where else can you still find penny candy, even if most of it is a nickel? ans she’s so nice to talk to! We have a tradition to always go there on the last day of school and although we moved from the area a year ago, we went there today (June 18, last day of school) and there was a sign that said “Sorry, we are closed.” We hope Freda is OK!

Beth, I loved reading about Freda and the pictures are also wonderful! It would be worth visiting Phoenixville just to meet her.
