Marshfield Hills General Store
Carell reportedly purchased the 155-year-old Marshfield Hills General Store in January of 2009 in Massachusetts, where the actor resides part time. The store is famous for its Civil War history having sold Union army uniforms to soldiers. The stores' former owner, Sherry Bechtold, stated that she sold the business to Carell because she knew he wanted it "for the right reasons." She went on to say that she "had other offers" but "was concerned about the neighborhood and that it remain a country store." Carell’s sister in-law, Tish Vivado, will manage the store.Patriot Ledger: Carell going from 'The Office' to the general store (January 15, 2009)Career
