      These are early Boon Brother's Store photos when their dry goods store was located on the square in Bentonville, Arkansas. Later, it moved to Centerton and became a grocery store as well.

      This store was in operation until 1990 and continuously run by Boon descendants. My husband's grandmother, Lucille Boon worked there with her son until she was 80 years old.
