THE CORNER
STORE STORY.
For as long as the families on Huron Street North have been buying milk on the way home, this corner has been the place. The store is family-run. The same hands open up in the morning, take the truck deliveries on Tuesday, and lock up after the last customer at night.
We know the regulars by face. We know which kids buy chips after school and which kids try to talk us out of carding them for a lottery ticket (no chance). We know who pays cash, who taps, who likes the chip flavour we never seem to keep in stock.
The store has not changed much, and that is on purpose. The lights are on early so you can grab milk before work. The lights stay on late so you can grab a snack before bed. Sundays are slightly shorter, but we are still open. We try to be here when the chain stores aren't.
- Family run.
Owner-operated. Same family on the floor every day, opening to closing.
- Seven days.
Open every single day, including holidays. We know what it is like to need milk on Christmas Eve.
- Cash and tap.
Both work. No minimum on debit. No surcharge on tap. The price on the shelf is the price at the till.
- Local first.
If your kid is short a quarter for a chocolate bar, we will spot the quarter. Pay us back next time you stop in.
WE ARE
THE STREET.
YOU ARE
THE STORE.
Without the regulars, this place is empty shelves. Thank you for stopping in for milk when you could have gone to the chain. Thank you for letting your kids buy a chocolate bar after school. Thank you for asking about our day.
We are not going anywhere. The corner is the corner is the corner. See you tomorrow morning.
