So just putting it out there, I have talked with the realtor just NOW, and told her to drop the price !!
So we are now at $225,000 for the business and lot’s and all the stuff that you will inherit with this as I did. And my disclaimer for who or whatever is melted n the 2,000 pound parts washer in the back garage is still in place —I KNOW NOTHING!! This also applies to the safe that came out of the Huntington Bank and ended up in the Burnt River and then ended up in the garage as well—I KNOW NOTHING!! Thank you all for the last 30 years but it’s been great but it’s time for us to move on. Please contact our realtor if you are interested! Robert & Marie Wilcox

So here’s our weather for the next several days , and yes after the bad stuff leaves today we are looking at some AMAZING weather, a big THANK YOU to Mother Nature! And then would like to get it out there we will be having a big 4th of July celebration right here next to the store (between us and city hall on Adam’s Street) and would like to invite all that will be down here fishing to come in off the river and take in our little towns festivities, 🥳, bring a lawn chair!! Looking forward to seeing many people over the weekend and what better way to celebrate 🎉 than to BUY THIS STORE, so I can really celebrate 🎉 the 4th of July, as a famous Scottish man cried out upon his death bed “FREEDOM” I’m hoping not to be upon my death bed , but I will cry out freedom, lol 😂 thank you William Wallace for allowing me to use your line!! And THANK YOU all as well, know it’s repetitive, but again 30 years of success in a little store that’s seasonal as hell, says a lot about all our loyal customers who have come back year after year and supported us.

Our friend Wesley Johnston stopped in prior to going out yesterday and so we did a before and during fishing adventure pictures. Said they did fantastic on just using fresh cut bait and fishing in the boat where the Burnt River flows into the Snake River. We are looking at some amazing weather this coming weekend, so if you got nothing going on would be a good time to come down and hook into some nice catfish. Tight lines all and thank you for allowing us to share your pictures, appreciate it. And as always THANK YOU all for your continued support of our little store—Robert & Marie Wilcox

Hey all you “ fishermen & women” WE have a restaurant in Huntington AGAIN!!! Please come check it out and give them a try. I had the burger 🍔 and fries 🍟 and Marie had the tacos 🌮 . And it was all very good 👍. Thank you all for supporting the Huntington Lions Club and the locally owned and operated businesses here in Huntington, without all of your support this just wouldn’t be Huntington.

Here’s a flyer our realtor did up , did a great job on it! If you are interested, know anyone interested, know any extraterrestrial interested, know anyone living or dead (hell if they can vote they can run a business) that is interested, PLEASE pass the information to them, and press to them that there are two very old grumpy people who own it and after 30 years they just want to get out before they die in it. Ok again I try and keep humor in everything , why not, always nice to see people smile and chuckle 🤭. Again THANK YOU all for an amazing run, and I truly do believe everything is in God’s hands and that when it’s right it will happen . Robert & Marie ( we are the grumpy old people just an FYI) Wilcox : Tight lines all!!!
