Walt's Dry Goods

Walt's Dry Goods established in 1950 by Walt and Millie Beyak, is now owned and operated by their son Randy Beyak. In 1948 Walter Beyak purchased the land for his store from the Canadian National Railway for $350.00, site unseen. Stories of the rapid expansion plans for Atikokan were known in the Rainy River District and they captured his interest and imagination. The Beyak family business has endured the boom and bust cycles of a mining community and the store is central to Main Street, Atikokan.
