Buffalo Mercantile Company and Cafe

In 1924 John C. Todd and his wife, Pearl, purchased the building, named it “Todd’s Place” and operated a historically successful business until the mid-1980’s. When they decided to retire, they sold the store to their daughter and son-in-law, Mary and Herb Miller. At that time, Mary and Herb changed the name to “Todd’s Country Store” and added a small kitchen and dining area onto the back of the store.

The Buffalo Mercantile Company was founded right here in Buffalo Cove back in 1897 by Mr. John Hamlet. The Mercantile was known for having all of the necessary local staples for everyday living.
