Lehl & Popp Grocery and Meat Market
In 1922, George Lehl opened his own grocery store with a partner, Alexander B. Popp, from Fresno, California, who had experience in the wholesale grocery business. When the shop owned by George's uncle failed, he moved to a larger shop located at NE 10th and Failing (probably the current address of 3909 NE 10th). He incorporated a butcher shop naming the store Lehl & Popp Grocery and Meat Market (the building burned in the 1960s).
