bobbhowardsgeneralstore.com
Eileen and Ronnie, the owners of Bobb
Howard’s General Store, are a couple of baby
boomers who grew up on Long Island, New
York playing hopscotch and hide-and-seek,
stickball and stoopball, flipping baseball cards
and jacks, and playing hit the penny and spin
the bottle. The General Store is attached to the
family auto repair shop that Eileen’s parents
opened in 1946. People often comment on the
combination of the two businesses – for Eileen
and Ronnie, it is a natural extension of the
things they love – they both love old cars and
they have a fun collection of old gumball and
coin-op machines and old toys and games in
their home, not to mention Eileen’s childhood
favorites: dubble bubble, jujubes, and red
licorice laces in almost every room!
