@MyTown Series #2 Jensens Department store, serving Manti since 1929!

Hi, thanks for looking at my second episode of @MyTown Series. This time we go to main street in Manti Utah and talk to John Jensen, 3rd generation owner operator of Jensens Department store.

John's Grandfather Gail Jensen started the venture in 1929. Gail's son Bob took over after Gail retired and Bob's son John is now at the helm.

My Grandfather and Gail Jensen were great friends so we are very fond of the Jensen family.

Its amazing that Jensens has stayed afloat after Wal Mart came to the county several years ago, taking out many mom and pop shops in the county.

Here's the store this June at sidewalk sale time,

Here is the 1948 version;

Here is the building early on, not sure of the year

Special Thanks to my model Maurakae Bown! Maurakae really went all out for the shoot getting her hair cut and colored and having her sister do her make up, she looked great and was fun and easy to work with.

We wanted to show a few outfits available for sale so here they are,

Hope you enjoyed our visit to Jensens Department store!
