located in the former Zeb Safrit grocery store building. Later, with the encouragement and patronage of farmers in the community, they installed a locker plant in the rear of the building. When the locker business was discontinued in 1952, Mr. Stewart remodeled the store. The Green's Tavern and Smitty's TV buildings have since been added to the store. In the 1980s, a bakery, movie rental, and coffee shop were added to the business. Vicky Furness was the owner. In 2013 the beloved IGA closed due to the death of Vicky. In 2013, Larry Langen along with his wife Susan, and brother John Langen bought the grocery store. They tore it down and built a completely new grocery store in its place. It is called "Sixth Street Market". In Morrisonville's early days, a grocery store would have looked like this: the front entrance was in the middle of the front wall and often consisted of double doors that could be opened to admit the passage of large articles, and often similar double doors on each side that could be opened when necessary to take counters and such bulky objects in or out of the building. The upper parts of all these doors were fitted with glass to allow the entrance of as much light as possible. Called transom windows, they would tilt inward allowing air near the ceiling to flow in the days before air conditioning.
