Commonly known as Quilici's Market, this structure was built by Morris Badt, a German immigrant. Badt entered business in Elko in 1869 and expanded to Wells as a result of a 1871 partnership with the Cohen Brothers. Sometime in 1875, Badt became the sole owner of the store, known as M. Badt General Merchandise Store. Badt operated the store until he sold it during the 1920's. John Quilici became the new owner and continued to operate the grocery store until 1995. John was a favorite among the local children because he always manned the full service butcher counter, handing out hot dogs in exchange for a thank you.
