Ed Tunk's Country Store

Does anyone remember Ed Tunk's Country Store?

I believe it was located on the corner of Westminster and Magnolia in the City of Westminster.

It was a store that sold locally grown produce, and it had sawdust on the floor. Radio station KEZY would often set up a remote broadcast from Ed Tunk's.

The store has since gone, and there isn't much else on the Internet about it.

Below are a few comments we collected from the old days of OCThen.com.

In the mid-60's I recall Ed Tunks Country Store in Westminster or Seal Beach. I remember the location as bieng Golden West and Westminster. I could be wrong. On weekends, KEZY from Anaheim would broadcast from the store. As I was interested in radio then, I would hang around and watch the DJ play records and do his radio thing. Bythe way, KEZY was the Anaheim radio station "With studios and offices in the Disneyland hotel." Their studio was on the ground floor of the Disneyland Hotel, in the old building where the monorail station is, across from the drug/camera/card store where I worked in 1968.

I came to Orange County in 1963 and there was an Ed Tunk's Country Store on the corner of Westminster and Magnolia. There is a strip mall there now.

I remember Ed Tunks also - I recall sawdust on the floor and real low prices on food. Sad to hear it is no longer there.

Oh my gosh! I haven't thought about Ed Tunks Country Store in so many years. I remember when I was little, my mother would take us there to buy fruit. They had the best cherries!! And my sister and I loved to run in the sawdust. Thanks for the memory.

    1. I seem to remember it as Gene Tunks also. I remember the sawdust on the floor, KEZY broadcasting from there, and the huge pickle jars on top of the meat counter.

    2. Me and my mother remember it as Gene Tunks as well. I remember the sawdust on the floor as well as KEZY broadcasting from there and oh the giant pickle jar sitting on top of the meat counter...

    3. It was known as "Ed" Tunks in the 60's and I believe, the early 70's became "Gene" Tunks.

    4. I thought someone told me that there were two stores. One Gene Tunks and one Ed Tunks.
      And one of them sat where Home Depot is on Beach and Chapman.

  2. Ed Tunk's- You Betcha! I used to go there with my mom and get dill pickles from a barrel. I think in later years it was called Gene Tunks.

  3. My Brother Sandy used to date Ed's daughter Martha Tunks back in the late 60's

  4. 1963 and fresh out of the Army, with a wife and a new son, I had no job skills. I worked in sweat shops and we shopped at Ed Tunks. Our grocery budget every week was $5.00 for the entire week. We could carry home two sacks filled with veggies and still have a little money left over. We ate a lot of what we called `Chef Sallads'; shredded lettuce, tomatoe slices with a dollop of Mayo and if we were splurging, we threw in a slice of cut up balogna.

  5. Tunks sat back from the corner of Magnolia and Westminster Blvds... On the corner was a gas station that opened and closed several times... Next to the station and between Tunks and Westminster Blvd. was Tom Cotton's Dari-Delite fast food place... I had my first job working there... The Tunks employees would come over on break and sit in our back room since all the D-D had for public seating was on a patio out front.. I graduated from Bolsa Grande H.S. in 1965..

  6. I'll never forget Ed Tunks or Reds Ranch Market. One of them had sawdust or hay on the ground. My Dad shopped at both all the time.

  7. I thought there was a Gene Tunk's on Magnolia and Westminster and an Ed Tunk's on chapman and Hwy 39. I surmised they were brothers. Both had sawdust on the floor and mud in the parking lot when it rained. How about Pepa's Pizza at Hwy 39 and Katella?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Ed Tunk was the father... Gene Tunk was the son...Gene's wife also worked at Tunk's as a cashier.. All three worked at Tunk's on the corner of Magnolia and Westminster Blvd... I cooked their food for them and they ate it in the back (storeroom) of the Dari-Delite located on Westminster Blvd right next door to Tunk's... That was in 1966-67..

  9. Whatever happened to Pepa's Pizza? That was the giant place with "Ye Public House" painted on the front, correct? A big, cavernous interior. Is the building still there?

    ReplyDelete
  10. Unfortunatly Pepa's turned into a parking lot. Many great family dinners sitting at the long wooden tables and watching the cooks thru the big picture window. And then off to the Highway 39 drive-in with the mural of the sailboats sailing along the coast painted behind the big screen.

  11. Does anyone recall a building in Westminster that housed a couple of clothing stores? When I was very small my mom would take us over for school clothes. They sold Levi jeans and cords. They had a Buster Brown or Mother Goose kid's shoe store. And the biggest rack of gumball machines lined up in the lobby. I think it was on the south side of Westminster Blvd at Knott.

  12. I've wondered whatever happened to Ed Tunks. My Dad was a very close friend of Ed's. I remember Ed coming over to the house often. Dad (Ray Rhoads)passed away in 1984. Ed always remembered my Mom's love of lobster and because money was scarce he enjoyed treating her to lobster on her birthdays. Would love to hear from any of Ed's family. My email is irhoads@cox.net. My Dad was Ray Rhoads, Lily Rhoads, Kenny Rhoads, Ingrid Rhoads (me), Randy Rhoads and Claudia Rhoads. We loved Ed!

  13. Yea. I worked as a box boy there in "66. I was 15 and my dad (Ray Rhoads) was his friend. I wasn't old enough but dad pulled some strings.One day a women asked me how old I was. I told her the truth. Gone the next day. Miss Ed. Miss my Dad. Glad I got fired.

  14. Yes I remember Ed Tunks, I would go there as a kid with my mom. I also remember going there in 1983 as a K9 handler for a local police department. I was called to assist the Westminster police department and conduct a K9 search in the middle of the night due to a burglary at the store. That brought back memories.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I can still smell the produce and the sawdust. good memories. Re: one of the previous posts, wasn't Ray Rhoads a politician? I recall seeing his name in the paper alot in the 70's.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I remember it being called Gene Tunks too. Yea we lived in Anaheim and my mom liked to drive there and it seemed as a kid it took forever to get there. I remember sliding on the floor on the sawdust and they had a huge pickle barrel by the meat department and I would always get a jumbo pickle. I also remember taking my paper route money and buying a huge bag of sunflower seeds for only $1.00 and eating sunflower seeds for weeks.

  17. I can't believe no one mentioned that Ed tunks was on the corner of Westminster and Canary. You youngsters don't recall that Magnolia was originally called Canary! I was the local area paperboy for the Garden Grove News and Ed Tunks was at the end of my route. They did have good pickles right out of the barrel. But just passed Ed Tunks was a little old white farm house owned by a lady named Tracey. She sold dolls she made herself and served countertop hot dogs, hamburgers, sodas from what used to be her living room. It was always my last stop on the paper route, and I can still taste her burgers and the ice cold soda. (I saved Foster Freeze for after school from Bolsa Grande High.)Tracey had a neat secret that she made me swear not to tell anyone. It's been so long now I guess I'll spill the beans! Her cousin would often come to visit her and check up to see if she was all right. She wanted to keep his visits secret for her own reasons and I respected that. Her cousin was the actor, Ward Bond.

  18. I grew up about 4 blocks from Ed Tunk's country store. It was on the corner of Westminster and Magnolia. When I first moved there Magnolia was called Canery St! (Because of the chili canery across the street from Tunk's.) Tunk's was a big produce market with the whole front opened up. They in deed had saw dust on the floors. A friend of mine, Donny Richardson's father worked at the store for years. They had a meat section at the rear of the store. Some time in the early 70's the store was taken over by Gene and renamed Gene Tunk's. When we first moved into the area in 1961 the store next to it on the right was a 5 and 10 cent store (remember them) called J.C. Finley's. (I bought a lot of model airplanes from them!) Some time in the mid 60's that turned into a dry cleaners. Tunk's disappeared in the early 80's when the flood of folks from Vietnam came over after the war. Some else mentioned Foster's Freeze. My mom worked there for a couple of years in the 60's. I too graduated from Bolsa Grande. That was a neat time and great place to grow up. (Anyone out there remember "Build and Save" hardware store or Blinky's Pizza, or the old Mayfare market? (All on the corner of Westminster Ave.(the old 17th st.) and Brookhurst.)

  19. Some friends of mine in the VERY early 70s were in a dixieland band that played on weekends at Pepa's Pizza, so I know (knew) it well. Used to go out there pretty often (from Long Beach, where we lived)...

    ReplyDelete
  20. I remember that place from when I was a kid. In the mid to late 70's, my mom used to take me to the beach about three times a week and we used to always stop at that store on the way home. Didn't they have big sign that looked like a cowboy? That sorta rings a bell. I also remember there was a chili factory just across the street from there. Remember always smelling the chili powder when we drove by there!

  21. I remember Ed Tunks too. I lived in Westminster and used to go there alot with my dad i also remember the sawdust.I think before it was closed they changed the name to Gene tunks.What a great memory.

  22. MY SISTER AND I WOULD GO TO ED TUNKS WITH OUR MOTHER, AND AS SOON AS IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE, WE WOULD BEG HER TO GO BEHIND ED TUCKS ON WESTMINSTER BLVD TO MRS TRACYS PIE SHOP. MRS TRACY WAS A VERY SWEET OLDER LADY. HER SHOP WAS TINY, AND PART OF HER HOUSE. THERE WAS A SMALL COUNTER, AND YOU COULD HOP UP ON ONE OF THE STOOLS AND SELECT FROM THE LARGE VARIETY OF CANDY SHE HAD ON DISPLAY. MOM BOUGHT A PECAN PIE, AND I CAN REMEMBER TO THIS DAY HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED IT! (ANY ONE REMEMBER KENT RECORDS BEING BESIDE ED TUNKS!?) I GRADUATED FROM BOLSA IN 71', MY SISTER IN 75'

  23. I remember Ed Tunk's very well. We lived across the street in Prado Verde Mobile Home Park for 11 years 1966 to 1977. We could get a 'kiddie cone' from Deli Delight for 5 cents. The Chilie Factory would have a potluck once a year in the mobile park "Good Stuff". We thought is was real cool when Pioneer Chicken was built in the Lucky's shopping center and then to get a Der Wienerschnitzel across the street!! Wow we were a real metropolitain city. Who would of thought by todays standards that was still nothing. I miss the area as it was. Remember the Drive thru Dairy across from Bolsa Grande High? TG&Y in the Stater Bros shopping center? Remenber Blue Chip Stamps giving out with your purchases at Stater Bros? Thank you to everyone for the sweet memories!!

  24. My parents went there exclusively to get pork roast's,yummy.

  25. I went to LaQuinta High School. Now the whole damn place is called Little Saigon. I try not to be prejudice...but I remember my parents got upset when the first gooks moved in to our neighborhood. Now, I know why. I got nothing against other people and cultures, but you should come and assimilate into the society and be good Americans. Not take over whole neighborhoods. Now, drive around in Westminster and there are no signs in English anymore. All Vietnamese and right down the street is Koreatown. My God, what happened?

    I used to go to Huntington Beach to surf too. Now it is all yuppies and spoiled rich brats. We used to drink beer on the beach and relax, but now it's a police state with trigger happy cops.

    I wish I had a time machine. I miss my old neighborhood, but it's gone forever. We got sold out to the gooks.

  26. My father was on the Westminster Police Force and, since my mother didn't work, also held a variety of part-time jobs. One of them was as a security guard for Edd Tunks. Edd had made and lost millions throughout his life, and had decided to get into a more stable line of work. He opened a supermarket that would provide him and his family with a steady income. Edd and his son Gene became good friends (and drinking buddies) with my father and hired me on as a boxboy when I was 16. I eventually became a checker.

    Oh, the stories I could tell you about Edd (a lot of them heard from my father). He was one of the most colorful characters I have ever known, a man who genuinely enjoyed life. Someday, when I write my memoirs, my time spent at Tunks will merit at least a chapter.

  27. So sad to hear that about Pepa's Pizza... A parking lot! Wow! My Daddy was the manager from '83 to '84! Lot of good memories... I still miss OC!

  28. I grew up in Garden Grove, I remember Ed tunks country store well. My friends family shopped there weekly. it was good for large families. I remember going into the orange groves before the 22-freeway was built. I remember going to church at the skating rink on g.g.blvd. and haster st. while the church was being built. Also remember going to the grove movie house, and maple lanes thats when they were still setting pens by hand. Many things have changed some for the good and some not for the good. I left Garden Grove in 1977. But still visit from time to time....

  29. Does anyone remember ED TUNKS in Garden Grove?
    We did not live on that side of GG (went to Rancho Alamitos High) but my Grandparents lived there and when we went to visit, we woiuld go there occasionally, I remember the saw dust covered floor and all the vegetables and fruits, if memory serves me correctly, the building was like a big barn.

  30. I lived in Westminster from '73-'86, went to that little preschool thats now a Jack In The Box (down the street from Freiburger Elementary). In second grade I attended Westminster Christian (across the street from Sigler Park) and Schmidt from grades 3-6. In seventh grade I went to Johnson Jr. High. I remember eating at Blinkys Pizza back in the mid 70's when I was 5 or 6 years old. Does anyone remember the huge electronic Baseball game they had hanging on the wall? There was (I think) two controllers with long cords used to pitch and bat. I miss Orange County every day, I'd love to move back down south but the finances just wont allow it.........for now I'm stuck in Fresno. :(

  31. I remember it well. I always went there with my mother from around 196? - 1978ish. I loved that store. My brother and I stole a pack of Fruit Stripe gum from there, because our mom wouldn't buy us a pack of it. Bad. I wish there were a store like Ed Tunks again. I grew up in Garden Grove and it was a barn-like building and it had saw dust on the floor. It was so cool. T. Fava

  32. I was thinking about Ed & Gene Tunks today and decided to see if there was any information about it on the internet..and then I found this website. It's great to see that I'm not the only one that has fond memories about the good ol' days of Westminster, H.B., G.G., etc. I remember going to Ed Tunks with my mom back in the 60's and shopping for produce and other food items. I loved the sawdust on the floor and everything about the place. I'll never forget the smell of the fresh produce and especially the big pumpkins they had during the fall season. Times were sure great back then. We'll never see places like that again around here.

  33. My parents house was near Ed Tunks in Westminster. I still remember walking to that store for the grand opening. At least, I think it was the grand opening. I also remember the big old tree located just south of the store. There was also a small roadside shop on the east side of Tunks along Westminster Ave. A very nice lady used to sell us cookies in that store. Tunks was the best for watermelon in the summer. They also had "celebrity events" that wowed us kids back in the day. I think I remember Beachcomber Bill or someone like that ? My mom still lives there and it's tough to see all the changes. But I'm sure the folks before us would have said the same (well, OK trying to be fair here).

  34. Edd tunks is one of my funniest memory as a kid, my gramma and I going for meat and canned foods, they had a section for cans that lost the lables, she being from Tx loved the place, Is scoot my feet in the sawdust, I can see it as it were yesterday, Id get a chick o stick, and my grampa sitting in his GTO waiting for us outside, they had the big pickles in huge jars, and the checkout people were really nice, had a turnstyle as you went in and out, I also remember another place, we went nearby to feed ducks, it had huge cattails , does anyone remember this place, I know it was not too far from there, or where the black angus farm, that went to the street on magnolia was?, We always took bread there, and I remember the cattails being taller than I was, i was born in 62, my gramma bought the house in 66, I still own the house and ALOT has changed, We would walk from her house, on gilbert to bobs big boys then down to the bowling alley watch them bowl, back through a dirt lot behind bobs coming home, and home then down the block to the cows peeking there heads over the fence from the dairy on trask, this must have been the side of the dairy back by my house now, the dairy is long gone the house faces the auto center near the 22. I remeber ALOT, but can never find a picture, the sidewalk in front of the bowling alley had sparkles in it, and there was a sproutz reitz, near kiddieland.I WANT IT ALL BACK! sad to be almost 50.

    My grandfather Roy Dalton Richardson used to go the the LA market and buy produce for Ed Tunks. He also farmed green beans and strawberries in Garden Grove. My grandfather moved to Kern County in 1965 and farmed grapes, peaches, plums, and nectarines in the Rich-Pak brand.

  38. I grew up in the area and went to Ed Tunks many times. It was on the corner of Magnolia and Westmninster Blvd. By the way, Magnolia got it's name from a small street in a housing tract in Westminster. It was decided to change the street name, from where I grew up, from Magnolia to Webster. Thus the exchange. There always different people coming to Ed Tunk's for special events. One time they had Johnny Padres, Sandy Koufax, and Don Drysdale there meeting people and signing autographs. My friends and I went and met them and collected all of their autographs. Those were the days.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I went to work for the Westminster Police Department in 1974 and Ed Tunks was still there on the southeast corner of Magnolia and Westminster Blvd. then. (and to one of the previous writers, yes, Magnolia used to be called Cannery. There is still a small section of Cannery north at Garden Grove Blvd.)

    I remember us responding to many a silent burglary alarms at Ed Tunks during the evening hours after they had closed.

    My parents also used to shop there when I was a teenager and I can remember going along to shop. Not sure why it sticks in my mind, but I can remember that was where we always bought our favorite brand of Louisiana hot sauce.

  41. Funny, I was just remembering Ed Tunks the other day! I went their w/my mom until the end. Unlike most here, I hated the pickles & some things never change, I still hate them. But I loved their beef jerky! Man, that was good.

    Life in O.C. was paradise for a while; orange blossoms in the air, places like Tunks, Glacier Falls Ice Arena, Alligator Farm, Modjeska Canyon, riding horses in CDM on the sand, driving home w/out headers (lost bolts) from O.C. Intl. Raceway are a few examples of the stuff that made O.C. an awesome place to grow up. Yes, it's all gone, even Belisles & the Jolly Knight(!). However, the weather is still here & the beaches are too. And it could be worse, I could not have the memories.

  42. I remember it as Gene Tunks Country Store. My family went there once when I was a young boy of about 10 years of age. That would have been circa 1971. I remember the sawdust on the floor. I also remember cob webs on the produce and some of the produce not being fresh. I also remember Shasta soda pop being on sale for 9 cents a can. I can't remember if I got my folks to buy some or not. There was a Lucky's grocery store across Magnolia, and a Pioneer Chicken in that same plaza.

  43. The name of the store in Buena Park, on the corner of Orangethorpe and Western, was Ed Tunk's Farm Fair. The reason I am on this site is that I am trying to find Martha Tunks. Next year, Buena Park High School's Class of 1961 is having it's 50 year reunion sometime next year. Martha was in that class. If anyone knows her whereabouts tell her to email the reunion committee at BPHS61@yahoo.com. That's BPHS61 at yahoo dot com.

  44. I grew up in Huntington Beach (bordering westminister) with my grandparents and my grandmother use to take my brother and I to Ed Tunk's. We loved the sawdust floors, pickle barrel, pigs feet in the jar, pigs head and cow's tongue behind the butcher counter. We used to love running around and skating on the sawdust. One of my earliest memories as a child. Sad that I can't find any photos. I will have to ask my grandmother if she has any old photos of the place from back in the day. ~chris polk

  45. Gene Tunks was Ed's Nephew NOT his son. At one time Ed had seven stores, lost them all to gambling. He loved the ponies. Gene worked at Ed's store and then eventually bought it. They never owned the land, it is on a 99 year lease. Ed started from that very spot on Mag & 17th selling produce from the back of truck!

  46. I am the nephew of Ed Tunks. Uncle Ed started with the Downey store of the same name and had big name country bands perform such as Bob Wills and The Texas Playboys in the late 40's. Uncle Ed knew some surprising people and even had a relationship with Elvis Prelsey very few people knew about even in his family. When he opened the Buena Park Store the entire cast of Loving You appeared at the grand opening except Elvis. I met and wrote fan letters to Jana Lund who was at the BP opening in a booth. Jana was the first girl to kiss Elvis on the movie screen. Uncle Ed helped a lot of people and had a great time at the track and in Vegas. When he was young he was quite a boxer and used to bring big name fighters to my Grandmother's House in LA.

  49. I am Ed's grandson, Andrew (Hi Jimmy!), and it's been fantastic reading all of these comments about the store and my grandfather. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet him, but I just found a treasure chest of old family photos, dozens of them from the store, including the opening, events held there, etc. It looks like there might be some people here interested in them... if you are, I can be reached at Arhat.Eves at gmail.com.

  50. Robin R said Ed Tunks was not on Chapman and Beach that was John Carters grocery store. Loved Ed Tunks my parents went their often my sisters and I would play in the sawdust.

  52. I just watched an old movie on Netflix titled "The Van" and was trying to figure out where it was filmed, appeared to be somewhere in SoCal. Anyway, there was Hadley's Car Wash, Pepa's Pizza, and some other stuff. I googled Pepas Pizza and this site came up. I lived in OC during the 1980's and there's liteally nothing about it that looks the same now.

  54. Funny thing my sister mentioned Gene Tunks just this morning, so I thought I would look it up on the internet. My sister and I grew up in Garden Grove and remember going to the store with our mother. I believe they had a cowboy sign on the store front - What memories!!! OC was such a small community then, strawberry fields, orange groves and no mega anything. Mom still lives in Garden Grove, so we come home for visits and are wowed by the changes.

  55. I remember the one on chapman Avenue in Garden Grove , just down the road from the Akron import type variety store. The name was Ed Tunk's and the inside store walls were painted brightly with scenes and slogans......one of which I recall was " Hell Bent On Bargains"!

  56. I did shop here with my mother and hated it because of the sawdust. I would get in my sandles. Im glad I still have that memory.

  57. Wasn't that a Crawford's Mkt at Chapman and Beach Blvd.? I loved to go to Tunks for the fresh tortillas that were still warm in the package when they arrived from the factory in Santa Ana.They used to also sell the big 1/2 gallon bottles of Mother's Pride soda. Yummy! OC was a great place to grow up in the 60's.

  58. Watermelons piled like a small pyramid, selling for 1 1/2 to 2 cents a pound, and they were large melons, probably some easily 20 pounds or more. Imagine, they were not even 50 cents each.

  59. I lived around the corner from it on Jennrich ave. Dad bought my first tampons there. There used to be a Dairy next door too with a five legged calf. And a salsa factory across the street. I remember the smell so plainly like enchilada's. I think the name was changed later to "Gene Tunks" Must have been a son or someone took over the business in later years.

  60. OH ED TUNKS, what memories. Love the Dill Pickles and Cinnamon Toothpicks!! Grew up in the track called Indian Village in Westminster from 1955-1969 and my mother shopped there every week. She stayed longer than she wanted always talking with Ed. He was always so very nice to us kids. And would pick out the biggest pickle out of the jar for me. On my way to High School WHS I would get a pickle and cinnamon toothpick he always laugh at me, are you still eating those. "yes" He was the BEST!!! Thank you Jimmy Page for sharing your memories with us. I wish you could post some pictures of him or store here. Thank you.

  61. I remember going with my father in the late 60's to Ed Tunks. I knew it was different from a Mayfair that my father said was to expensive.We also went to Crawfords market on Euclid and Romneya in Anaheim. I remember my dad buying us donuts as we left the market. Precious memories and a great time to live in Orange County. It has changed greatly and not for the best! OMG I just remembered the cinnamon toothpicks. LOL!
