BEE WAYNE BAKERY
521 Edmond (location was demolished during Urban Renewal)
2516 Mitchell
221 South 22nd
Bee Wayne bakery was once located at 521 Edmond Street, on the northwest corner of 6th & Edmond. The downtown Bee Wayne sign is visible in photo #1. This is the only photo I have of Bee Wayne at this location. The downtown building no longer exists, it is currently a city parking lot.
In the 1950 City Directory, Bee Wayne Bakery was listed at 2516 Mitchell.
In 1935, Norris Drug Store was located at 2518 Mitchell. It would later became a Herman Drug Store
Bee Waynes was located on the west side of the drug store as photo #2 shows a bricked up wall and a doorway
The middle door is access to the apartment above
By 1960, the Bee Wayne bakery had moved to 221 South 22nd Street.
It was one of St Joseph's most popular bakeries.
John (Jake) Jacobs purchased the bakery building on South 22nd and converted into a garage to service his used cars and also served as his office for many years.
