1930Open since 1930. That's 96 years. Run by Tony Ko and family since 2004.

Our take

The building went up in 1930 as the William Head Service Station, selling groceries, cigarettes and candy from a single gas pump. Tony Ko and his late wife Adriana took it over in 2004 after immigrating from South Korea, and Ko told the Goldstream Gazette that 90 per cent of his customers are regulars. The shelves run from local jams, Glenwood Meat and Galloping Goose sausage to hardware and propane.
