Midvale Liquor Agency

“There’s been a store like this on Main Street Midvale since 1933, since the end of Prohibition.” Rob Flygare says it simply, standing behind the counter of the Midvale Liquor Agency, helping customers one after another while trying to answer questions between sales. The interruptions never seem to bother him. In fact, they tell part of the story. After more than twenty-five years of running the shop, this steady rhythm of conversation, regulars, deliveries, and familiar faces has become deeply woven into his life. “It’s my business, it’s my baby,” he says. “I try to stay on top of it all.”
