in October 1904. In 1911, a grain elevator was built at Walpole and
modern machinery was installed. All milling and mixing for the Franklin,
Norfolk, and Wrentham stores was done at Walpole. About 1,400 cars
were handled at Walpole and the various branches". |

Inc. today is still a family owned and operated business. Located
in Walpole, MA 
on Route 27 just outside of the center. Gilmore's was purchased from
the original Gilmore family in 1976 by the Verrochi Family. The Verrochi's
have been life-long residents of Walpole and Norfolk County. The present
owners are Ed and Evelyn Verrochi. Along with Ed and Evelyn the company
is also managed by their sons. Gilmore's is still, 100 years later, selling coal, grain, hay and cement. Plus, you will see, by visiting our site and our store, that we sell many more products. Special order items are always available, too! |
