    Elizabeth Kashka has fond memories of the old Hen House at Merriam Town Center. She took her grandmother grocery shopping there every other weekend for two decades. She still recalls the day the store opened, when kids played in water from a fire hose. She even worked there for three years.

It hasn’t had one for the seven years since.
