For more than 55 years, Wrink's Market was a noted landmark on Route 66 in Lebanon, Missouri. Established in 1950 by Glenn Wrinkle, the store was basically a community general store.

The store was originally constructed and opened in 1946 by Glenn's father, G.E. Wrinkle. Plans also called for a hotel along Route 66 atop the store. However, G.E. Wrinkle became ill in 1947 and the second story was never built.

The store featured not only groceries, collectibles and dry goods, but Glenn Wrinkle himself. Countless customers were entertained over the years with his stories covering more than a half-century along America's Mother Road. The store closed and the stories ended when Glenn died on March 16, 2005.

Glenn Wrinkle helped a great many people in the community by selling items on credit--no one was rejected. Glenn's wife, Katie, observed many acts of kindness he exhibited over the course of 50-plus years. Glenn Wrinkle managed Wrink's Market in his own way and in doing so created a landmark in Lebanon and on Route 66.

The second chapter in the story of Wrink's Market began in 2007, when Wrink's Market was re-opened by Glenn and Katie's son, Terry Wrinkle. Travelers passing by on Route 66 can stop in for a soft drink and sandwich, some munchies for the road, buy Route 66 memorabilia and hear stories of The Mother Road from the third generation of the Wrinkle family to operate the store.
