Remember when mom and pop shops were the norm rather than the exception? We could find them everywhere we went – from the big cities to the small towns. Well, today, we’re more likely to find big name stores with mom and pops often struggling to compete. But, we’re still lucky to have some of those old-fashioned shops in Missouri – like this shelled nut shop, which roasts its nuts on site, that is definitely a bucket list-worthy addition.
Mound City Shelled Nut Company, in St. Louis, boasts a rich history dating back to its debut in 1917.
