Sweet Treats And More Arrive With Brenda Gail's In Downtown Umatilla

    In the coming days, Umatilla will see its ‘sweetest’ business to date open for customers.  Brenda Gail’s Sweets and Treats will open at 169 North Central Avenue with a shop full of great-tasting confections, candies, ice cream, and more.
    Owned and operated by Brenda Gail and George Murphy, the shop has been getting ready to open for several weeks.  Featuring over a dozen flavors of Hershey’s ice cream, 26 flavors of homemade fudge, and dozens of candies have been stocked, many of which are ‘old time’ favorites that can be hard to find in modern stores. Hard candy sticks are loaded in jars, and a special freezer case is full of ice cream sandwiches, ice cream cakes, and more.
    The store will be the second of its kind for the Murphy’s as George previously operated a successful store of a similar style in West Virginia.
    “It’s got that old time charm,” George says of the store, which is set to open next week in advance of an October 15 official ribbon cutting hosted by the Umatilla Chamber of Commerce.  That event will be held at 5 p.m.
    The store is scheduled to be open from noon to 6 p.m. daily, until the couple can see which days and hours are more sought after by the community.
