September 23, 2008Agnew Seed reopensAgnew Seed, a long-time retailer on Market Street in downtown Roanoke, reopened today after shutting its doors in July. The store has been closed since its owner, Kent Agnew, was found dead of unknown causes inside the shop. Agnew’s wife, Pat Agnew, said the store will have limited hours for now, opening on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Agnew Seed sells a variety of seed products and gardening equipment, including organic gardening supplies, prepackaged seeds, garden tools, decorations and Virginia peanuts. On its Web site, it’s already marketing its spring 2009 seed selection. Agnew Seed has been operated by extended family members since 1897. |
