The Old Dime Store

Constructed at 116 N. Willow in the early 20s, this building served Harrison as a town store. ‘Spike’ and Katherine Cavender, and their son Steve, operated The Well-Worth Dime Store during the 50s. The store was destroyed by the Crooked Creek flood on May 7, 1961, but the business successfully reopened in the same location. During this time, Spike continued to make “Greek seasoning” to give to his friends. Around 1968, Spike and Steve decided to market the seasoning blend, and S-C Seasoning Co., manufacturer of Cavender's Greek Seasoning, continues to make the spice blend in Harrison. The building is still owned by the Cavender family.
