Eileen and Ronnie, the owners of Bobb Howard’s General Store, are a couple of baby boomers who grew up on Long Island, New York playing hopscotch and hide-and-seek, stickball and stoopball, flipping baseball cards and jacks, and playing hit the penny and spin the bottle. The General Store is attached to the family auto repair shop that Eileen’s parents opened in 1946. People often comment on the combination of the two businesses – for Eileen and Ronnie, it is a natural extension of the things they love – they both love old cars and they have a fun collection of old gumball and coin-op machines and old toys and games in their home, not to mention Eileen’s childhood favorites: dubble bubble, jujubes, and red licorice laces in almost every room!
