It was built near a city park, so many customers remember the store from playing nearby. When US-127 was built, it bypassed the city, so the original owners decided to build a new store in Houghton Lake in 1958 and changed the name to Rockin' Chair Gift Shop. They also moved several buggies, a horse drawn hearse, and some outdoor decorations along with the move. The current owner's family bought the store in 1965, with the second generation taking over in 1995."
