Father and son owners Gary and Josh Henstorf and their four legged feline friends Eric and Adam warmly welcome visitors to Bubbas Parts and Toys on Highway 78 in Ottertail. Garys wife Sheila is also one of the business partners, but doesnt share in greeting duties.
Bubbas has been in Ottertail for three years and is constantly expanding. The latest additions of live bait and fishing tackle has Gary suggesting they change the name of the business to Bubbas Bobbers, Bait, Parts & Toys!
The store carries Interstate batteries and is well stocked with Pronto auto parts. The toys include portable ice houses, underwater cameras, kneeboards, wake boards, water skis, accessories and even four-person wake tubes. Gary says they carry a full line of sporting goods, but no guns.
