Pletcher's Beer Distributor History

OUR STORY

After returning home from WWII Kenneth E. Pletcher started distributing beer in the late 1940's in Blossburg, PA. Having been born and raised in Central Pennsylvania he and his wife desired to return to the area. On October 1, 1956 he purchased a license from John and Caroline Kolasa of Clarence, PA and moved it to Bellefonte.

 

The first location of Pletcher's in Bellefonte was on High street. Located across from the historic Bush House Hotel, beside the train station, which is now home to the visitor center. In 1971 the first Pletcher's building was torn down to accommodate Talleyrand Park so Kenneth was forced to move to 513 E. Bishop St. That building is now occupied by Swartz Fire & Safety, Inc.
