The Home and Garden Variety Store was owned by Everest Raymond Watrous and his wife Mildred Bates. It was located on the corner of 17th South and 17th East in Salt Lake City, Utah. The store sold a variety of goods, offered plants in season and sporting goods. In December Christmas trees were sold. Many family members helped in the store. In the 1960s, the Watrous family sold the store to a company who razed it and built a gas station in its place. The gas station is still on the property as of 2010. Across the street from the store was the Wasatch Presbyterian Church which is still there. Two doors west of the store was the family home, which is also still there and is owned by a family member.
