Opened by Ferdinand Hashka (1895-1971) in 1937, The Goodie Shop produced tasty treats that are still fondly remembered. Although the business changed ownership twice, it appears that the excellent quality of the baked goods remained the same for 64 years.

Treats from the Goodie Shop were also carried by various neighborhood grocers, such as Ed's Food Shop and the Tower Market.

The Chriske family closed the Goodie Shop in 2001; the space is now occupied by Benny's Bistro.
