Ralph and Stewart Ashton at Ashton's Square

Ralph and Stewart Ashton stands with Gerald Day behind Ashton's Department Store in the parking area. The store recently completed its fifth expansion project that tripled the sales space to about 50,000 square feet. With the expansion the project included forming the Ashton Square, which was two-thirds of a city block. The grocery department was moved to a new store just south of the Bank of Vernal and was sold to Gerald Day and the new grocery building was leased from the Ashtons.
