OUR STORY
Welcome to Forever Primitives
We can’t thank you enough for stopping in today. Since 2017 we started this adventure and working towards creating a retail and luncheonette that offers affordable gifts, great food and a warm atmosphere. We were excited to get the opportunity to purchase and renovate this old building and open our new business right here in downtown Bowling Green. It’s a great feeling knowing that we are helping to preserve some of the town’s history.
On Friday, June 14th, 2019 we opened our doors to customers for the first time. Since that day we have expanded our dining area, added wines, spirits, home decor, candies, started offering breakfast on Saturdays, hosted happy hours and so much more.
We started the business not to make a huge profit, but instead it was a way for us to help enhance the Bowling Green community while being our own bosses and doing what we enjoy; entertaining friends and family in a casual and fun atmosphere. We hope you will come back to visit soon, we have new things happening at our store all the time! We appreciate you supporting our family’s dream.
Craig, Mandy and Landon Burnett

“My husband and I came to visit our friend Lori Ulrich she recommended Forever Primitives and we went to have lunch with her there and it was Christmas week. It was a homey – down to earth experience and the food and service was absolutely awesome. I loved it that dessert was part of the meal and the friendly people were incredible. We intend to make it a regular stop when we are in Bowling Green. I absolutely loved the decor– Great PLACE!!!”

Small Batch Winery

Wentzville, MO – “We are a family-owned and operated micro-winery established in 2010 in Wentzville, MO. True to our name, we make our wines in small batches allowing us to be involved in every step from the fermentation, to the bottling and labeling of the finished wine. Small Batch Winery specializes in easy to drink wines that we affectionately nicknamed “Patio Pounders”. They are perfect for that evening or Sunday afternoon relaxing on the patio.“
