At a small general store in a tiny Pennsylvania township, a husband and wife are worried they're the last shopkeepers of their kind. Centermoreland Grocery & Deli is a small, family-owned general store in the heart of its namesake town — Centermoreland, Pennsylvania. The store is owned by married couple Alan and Sharlene Weidner. Running a community shop that sticks to business practices it invented a century ago is difficult, but the duo has no plans to retire. And while the Weidners love it, they fear their historic shop won't be protected after they're gone.
