BEE WAYNE BAKERY
221 South 22nd
Bee Wayne bakery was once located 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, only a city parking lot exists
In the 1950 City Directory, Bee Wayne Bakery was listed at 2516 Mitchell
In 1935, 2518 Mitchell was Norris Drug Store and 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
