The history of Slate Run dates back to 1794, when Phillip Tomb first established this enchanting haven. The land was once adorned with vast virgin white pine and hemlock forests, a habitat for majestic elk, elusive mountain lions, and the haunting call of wolves. The area earned the moniker “The Black Forest,” capturing the essence of its untamed beauty. The lumber industry flourished, ushering in a period of rapid growth. The first store in Slate Run emerged as a testament to this era, becoming a vital cornerstone of the community. Even as the lumber boom receded, the store remained, standing as a living testament to the enduring spirit of the land.

Our store’s mission is rooted in simplicity and integrity. With every customer who walks through our doors, we uphold the timeless principle of treating others as we wish to be treated.
