The Mokane Market appears to have closed on January 1st 2020. The building is up for sale but I've not heard of anyone interested in buying it.

The nearest store is now the new Dollar General which is a mile north of the Katy Trail on Rt.C.

Is the Mokane bar still open?

They have a Facebook page, and posted on Jan 15th that they have free pool.

Shame to see the Market go away. It was a famous place on the trail. Nice little stop for basic provisions and a sandwich.

The Mokane Market closed at the end of January. It is currently for sale. It closed due to lacking sales because of a new Dollar General that opened about two miles north of town. The business and building is for sale and would be a great opportunity to serve the Katy Trail riders. There is an unfinished upstairs that could be converted to a B&B and store. Community Notice: New owners requested to be well mannered and welcoming to cyclists. Mokane needs a breath of fresh air!

Interesting. So many complaints through the years about being unfriendly, unwelcoming and rude. And the doors closed because of the Dollar Store.

Eeeeexactly. I made sure to stop in because it was famous for being so unwelcoming. I wanted that place to be there forever. Turns out we weren't the enemy.

We always stopped in there. Once when we got there another biker was leaving having a shouting match w/the owners wife. The guy who owned it was nice, wife not so much. A bunch of locals were there and we had lunch w/them, they were telling us all kinds of stories about the local history. It was really fun. Very sorry to see that go!

That place will forever in my mind be known as "Grumpy's". :)
