Located approximately 35 miles north of the Lake of the Ozarks in Central Missouri, Weaver's Country Market, Inc. is located in the village of Excelsior nine miles northeast of Versailles. Weaver's Country Market had its beginning in November 1972 when Eli and Anna Weaver, together with their family, relocated from Eastern Pennsylvania to Central Missouri. The building purchased in Excelsior was originally part of a hotel building that had been located at a coal pit three miles east of the store's present location. The original part of the building with its weathered hardwood floor is still in use today. Since its small beginning in 1972, the building at 580 square feet has increased through additions and remodeling to over 8000 square feet.
