In 1960, Bill Sage and his wife Vera opened a milk store on Washington Avenue as a way to pay for their daughter’s college. He sold a variety of food including beef fritters and ice creme. The dessert sales did so well it eventually became just an ice creme shop. Little did he know that it would also become a town staple.
In 1985 Doug and Susan Schulte bought the store and in 1991 opened a second location on Maryville Road. The current owner, Jason Brown bought the Maryville store as an employee in 1996, the original location on Washington Ave in 1997 and opened a third in Bethalto, IL in 2001.
Over the years Weather Vane has continued to grow popular in the Granite City area by serving quality products. Weather Vane has participated in many local events such as carnivals, sponsoring little league teams, and holding fundraisers.
