Vintage Patterson's

When you visit Patterson's in Bemidji you're supporting a local business that's been a part of the Bemidji scene for four generations. The Bemidji Pioneer did a nice story on us as we approached our 75th anniversary a few years back.

The Patterson's crew, three generations at the counter!

Abe Patterson, the store's founder, on another snowy Bemidji day.From the article:

'...Steve remembered his grandfather talking about lumberjacks who would come into town to celebrate on the Fourth of July. His grandfather would keep the store open all night and sell the partying lumbermen suits...'

See, Patterson's really has been keeping Bemidji looking good since before you were born!
