Cleveland Emporium
Built back in the 1940s, the original Cleveland Emporium was passed down through generations of the Wells family. In the process it became a landmark of convenience where shoppers could pick up the area’s finest cuts of meat – or a part for their lawn mower. Located off I-40 near Clayton with growth exploding all around, owner David Wells knew the time had come to expand his country store.
Wells is a longtime Bobbitt friend who knew we could turn his vision into reality. Fact is, Cleveland Emporium is a relaxed place and the new location needed to be just like general merchandise stores of yesteryear – right down to the high-front facade with a sloped tin roof. This 10,000 sq. ft. country store has more room for gas pumps, with an improved layout for its expanded meat department, and a second story mezzanine for offices. So, even if the community around the Emporium continues to sprout up right fast, folks know where to go to get “a little of many things.” Just like the sign says.
