Sheridan Commercial Company is the oldest commercial establishment in Sheridan still doing business in the same location – and the winner of the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce Strength of Sheridan Award for 2020.
The award is presented annually to a Chamber member business or organization that has a distinguished tenure of 20 or more years in the community. Voting is by Chamber members, and Chamber CEO Dixie Johnson shared some quotes by those members about Sheridan Commercial during the recent awards presentation:
Sheridan Commercial was started in 1892 when Sheridan was seven years old and before the railroad arrived here. Originally located on Alger Street, the company moved to the current location on Broadway when the railroad arrived, with a rooming house and restaurant on the second floor.
