The Building Is Part of the Story

A Historic Building.
A New Chapter.

Before it was a storefront, it was an alleyway. Enclosed around 1920, this narrow Main Street space became a barbershop, later a bank and a jewelry store, and eventually Matt Daigel's Club Car. Today, we're preserving its character for a new chapter as Foothills Cigar Company.
