The Dysart Co-op also provided garage service to the community. It was organized in 1939, with Frank Schick as the first manager, followed by Milton Wood and John White. In 1941, the property on the comer of Railway Avenue and Holland Street was purchased from Nick Simeon. The first building was a granary, and the next building was erected in 1958 and sold in 1974. The present service station and hardware building on the comer of Railway Avenue and Victory Street was purchased from Steve Kanak in 1974. In 1967, the Co-op expanded to groceries. The building on Main Street was purchased from Albert Beutel, and Emily Shalovelo became supervisor. Both the store and the farm supply business continued to flourish under the management of John Petrar from 1950 to 1985.
