The Sweet Mercantile Soda Fountain & Candy Shop visionary
Mary Kay Novak McGrath
A businesswoman in her own right, over the last decade Mary Kay was committed to reviving the Czech Village. She purchased property, started businesses, and made the Czech Village a beacon of our community. Think of her anytime you enjoy a scoop of ice cream here at Sweet Mercantile, nicknamed "Bebe's Place" by her family. She was the change she wanted to see in the community.
