The Andersons Retail Store (Maumee, Ohio)

530 Illinois Avenue in happier times
Agribusiness company The Andersons for years ran a small chain of retail stores, described as having an eclectic mix of food, agricultural supplies, and general merchandise (mostly hard goods) and Maumee's store was the first, opening a 155,000 square foot retail store at 530 Illinois Avenue in 1972 to replace a small sales office nearby (their headquarters are located nearby). They built several stores, including a grocery-only store in Sylvania, but in early 2017 they announced that after several years of losses the retail stores would close permanently. Yelp reviews and articles indicate that there were at least two subleases, Tony Packo's and a meats section operated by local operator House of Meats.

A few years later, The Andersons reopened the property as a warehouse.
