History

Established in 1931.

Latta’s originated in Cedar Falls, Iowa and was founded by John Stewart Latta in 1898. The Huntington branch was opened in 1931 by Hugh Mullarky and was later succeeded by his son, Bill Mullarky. The 3^rd generation ownership was transferred in 1997 to Mike Mullarky. Latta’s was operating across the street from MarshallUniversity during the 1937 flood. The flood caused monumental damage which forced the company to re-​start with a new location. It was then moved to 4^th avenue and 15^th street where it operated for several years until the present building was completed in 1955. Several additions were completed in the 1960’s and 70’s. During this time, the second floor was used to fill orders with a shipping department located on the first floor. For 81 years, Latta’s continues to support and serve the Huntington community.
