Opened in 1759, the Bethabara store played an important role in the life of the community. It provided basic goods, not only to the Moravians, but also to customers from many miles around. The store served as a shipping point for Moravian goods sent in trade, especially to Charleston, SC. A 1764 addition greatly enlarged to 1759 building, and sometime after 1766 another addition was made.

"George Loesch brought 300lbs. of lead for our store from the mine on the New River."
Bethabara Diary, June 4, 1764.

"Again today many people came to the store with skins for sale. Br. Gammern will soon be at a loss on how to pay in cash."
Bethabara Diary, February 15, 1765.
