Thompson's Store

The store that became Thompson's General Store was first established by Nellie and Lloyd Dyment in the 1930's, until September of 1948 when it was sold to Francis Corrigan and Muriel Thompson, Nellie's brother and sister-in-law. Frank and Muriel would continue the general store tradition over the next 25 years. Frank retired in 1972, the building was rented out for a brief period of time until eventually being converted back to a residence in the 1970s. Thompson's General Store was demolished c. 2019 and replaced with a new home.

Local residents remember fondly the old store and its wares, as well as the groove worn into the floorboards from years of customers visiting.
