Tj’s Country Store open in Malmo
There is a busy corner in Malmo that is a one-stop shop for liquor, laundry, bait, and now, household essentials.
When gas prices are high and individuals are hoping to cut down on trips, Tj’s corner is the place to stop.
The tree-lined route of Highway 18 leads to a junction of 321st Avenue and is where Tj’s Country Store is located. It is just a few doors down from Tj’s Liquor.
With an ice cream truck outside, the inside features lots of pantry and fridge staples like meats, frozen pizza, snacks, toilet paper and, of course, chocolate-covered goodies.
Gene Miller is the owner of Tj’s and is not new to the area as he previously worked as the postmaster in Isle.
Ice cream truck
In front of Tj’s Country Store is an ice cream truck that is credited to Vicki Magedanz and Karen Miller (Gene’s wife), who have been bothering Gene to start selling ice cream for years. The problem is that Gene didn’t have the space inside his stores.
One fateful night, Gene solved the problem with just a few clicks of a button. An ice cream truck, which still plays music, by the way, was purchased from an owner in New Jersey.
After a company shipped the truck to its new and permanent home in Malmo, it’s enjoying it’s new life and is full of ice cream.
Groceries
According to Gene, a lot of people coming into his other locations have asked him to open a grocery store. So what started as a little boutique now has coolers for steaks, hamburgers, ribs, and Hegge’s frozen pizza.
