I am looking for any information on a place of business that was called Poor Boy Ken's. It was ran by Ken Steele Enterprise. It was located in the middle of Denham Springs. Any information on this building/business would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

I remember this store well when I was growing up. It was located where the new Winn Dixie is now on the corner of Florida Boulevard and Range Avenue. It was very informal. I remember them mostly selling shoes. But I know they had clothes and other things too. After he died his wife reopened another store between Denham Springs and Walker. to be exact on the corner of Florida Boulevard and Palmetto Street. I can not be certain of this but it seems that I remember people saying that before they opened the store that they traveled with the fair or carnival, I geuss I should say.

Randy,

Do you know of a time frame of when the store existed?? The reason why I ask is that my great uncle use to sell peanuts there ( Burl Watts) and they had a picture taken in front of the store that a few people are included in. There is a man with an ice cream cart( I think his name may be Cecil not sure), my uncle with his peanut cart, and a few others including the owner of Ken Steele Enterprises. Thanks for the info!

I just found an obit for Ken Steele. He died in 1962.
