PINON MERCANTILE CO.

In August 2002, I had a relative who worked at Pinon Boarding School and went up to visit him. After we handled business, I decided to drive around Pinon to see the Old Store. There some small changes in the place, this place was selling NAPA auto parts, Cell Phones, Grocery, Navajo Arts and Craft. I went in there to get a soda and bag of chips.

In December 2011, we were Christmas Caroling at Forest Lake Chapter House, so after we were finished setting up, we had 2 and 1/2 hours of free time, so I asked my group if they ever been to to Pinon and all of them said never. They were curious and wanted to see what Pinon was about, we drove by and the sun had gone down, and I saw that this store had been burned and it was completely fenced off. I don't if they are going to do a complete clean up, rebuild. I'll try to look into it.
