In August of 1938 after many years in the grocery business in Tacoma, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Atwood opened a new IGA store at 124 Tacoma Avenue North in the Stadium district. The previously standing brick building was completely remodeled and all new equipment of the latest design was installed. From the gigantic ice cream refrigerator to the marble-topped service counter everything possible was done to create a store that would fulfill the expectations of the discriminating shoppers in this important section of town.
