Bellingham Bay Grocery Company

Seven unidentified men standing in front of building with "B.B. Grocery Co. Inc. Wholesale & Retail" written on the windows and "1117" above the doorway. The second story is white clapboard with two windows facing the street. There is a plank sidewalk in front of the building. This early Bellingham grocery was located at 1117 Elk (State) St. at what is now State and Holly Streets. Later Engberg's Pharmacy occupied the building. It was part of the BB Block across from the present day YMCA. B.B. Grocery was owned by Felix Olson and Hovander; Olson was the uncle of Robert Hayden who later bought the grocery from him and eventually founded Hayden's Thriftway Market (now Haggens) in Fairhaven.
