The 18th Shawano Has History plaque was installed on the Jung’s Furniture & I.G.A. Grocery Building at 154 S. Main Street in Shawano. We want to thank Charlie and Debbie Harvey, Kelly Sufka, and Peter Harvey of Charlie’s County Market for sponsoring this plaque. As early as 1894 Shawano had a dedicated furniture store, located in the building at 154 S. Main Street. By 1938, Jung’s Furniture was no longer at this location and I.G.A. took over the building heralding a new era of national grocery store chains replacing local grocers.
