Profile
It all started back in 1942, when Oscar and Selma Mandinach came from Los Angeles and opened up Palm Springs Plumbing, located on 208 N. Indian Canyon. At that time it was known as Indian Avenue, which used to be a two-way street.
The store was leased from the Cahuilla Indians until 1952. Neighboring up until then were the Greyhound Bus Station, Benton Beckley's Desert Feed and Seed and Benton's Real Estate. At the corner, there was a little cafe, "that made the greatest chile and malts" that Ted Mandinach (2nd generation and owner) ever had; however, the name has been lost in the history books.
