-Is this Archie’s
-Archie's
-Archie's , I grew up on Elizabeth St. I remember Mom having a credit there & one of us could run up to the store for bread or milk etc. & Mom would go in at the end of the week & pay her bill !
-Lived on temple rd lots of memories
-I've never heard of Archie's ... Fill me in ;)
-Thats was Archie's store back in the early 60's and probably longer. I lived on Ewing then dufferin st. and that was the place to go Saturday morning.
-Archies in the mid 50;s. We lived 3 doors down on Ewing St,
-Fendleys owned it in my day. Tammy, Tommy & Tina & Terry were the kids. Howard & Phee (sp?) were the parents.
-Wow, this was Archie's? Top of Ewing and Main just over the White Bridge (it was never white). I lived on Ewing and I always remember this store as Archie's. Run to Archie's for a loaf of bread, or milk, or mum was in the mood for a coke float so go get some ice-cream and we all got a coke float. Spent our allowance, 25 cents, buying penny candy there. 10 cent cokes, 5 cent (little) or 10 cent (big) chocolate bars. Oh, I remember Archie's. 50's & 60's - oh those were the days.
-The cutest little french canadian couple.
-Redeemed many pop bottles there for penny candy.
-I remember it back in the fifties
-Wow Archies that brings back a lot of memories from years ago
-Corner of Ewing and Cherry?
-Yes we lived the corner of Ewing and Cherry st
-Archie's, I bought a lot of penny candy there.
-Remember Archie's very well. It was a great place to spend your allowance on penny candy. You could get a whole lot for a dime.
As kids we were often sent to the store for a loaf of bread or a jug of milk.
-That's what I remember. It was a LONG walk to and from school. That penny candy made the trip more enjoyable.
-Wasnt it the lucky dollar store at one time remember my mom collecting stamps and purchasing from a book
-I grew up on Ann St. and Archie’s was where all the kids went for everything! My Mom gave us a nickel on Fridays and we’d buy a treat onthe way home from Chapel Street School! Great times!
-Did they not have a son who worked in the store . l spent my tips from my paper route
-His name is Ted Girard still see him he lives in Paris on with his wife Mona Williams from Williams snack bar in the Glen
-My "corner store" was Maw's, down the hill.
-Choi’s when I owned the home just to the right of it in the 80s
-Do remember it as Jug City for yrs though.
-After Archie’s, It was Wilkes I think.
-I grew up on Ontario St. and would walk up there and it was Wilkses.
-This was great to see this picture. 😁
I lived close to this store. My Dad and I walked there one day for goodies.
As we arrived there were three guys leaning up on the wall/window near the ice machine. They looked cool...arms folded and just relaxed. So i went up beside them and copied them. The one guy looked down at me and said, "Whats up Squirt?"
Its one of the best memories i have and the nickname stuck. Giggle
-oh boy I spent lots of money there on penny candy , lived down the street !
-3 jubes for a penny. .25cents got you set up for a week.
-Corner stores were a great thing in those days, before they stuck gas pumps and coffee shops on street corners like they do now. But in those days kids could go to the corner store and mom's didn't have to worry.
-Archie Gerard was the first kindest person ever. I spent all my allowance money at “Archie’s”.
-Brought my nieces there when they lived on Ewing st. Also remember Joes Tuck shop downtown and Kay's beside the high school. Played pinball downstairs at lunch .
-Oh my gawd!? Bret had a note forgery that we would give the store keeper to buy cigarettes with! We pooled money and reused the note dozens of times. I recall not liking cigarettes when i first tried them, it really took some effort on my part to smoke them. I wonder if the overpass still bears any of our handy work? Probably all painted over by other kids by now. 😎
-That's where I got my penny candy on my trycicyle.
-Mike & Daisy Marko Gave Me Their Empty Pop Bottles , Cashed Wagons Full There No Problem...
-Did Mike Marko have a problem with one of his legs always remember him limping?
-Before Archies is was Pensions, and the three houses behind were all owned by Penson familys.
-Dang you're old Kent. I only go back as far as Archies😄
-I remember it as Archies too......back when I lived at 365 Main St N.....before Moore Park was even thought of!!!!
-One of the houses was owned by John Cadaro. Mum & Dad rented one from him. I think the middle house that were all the same.
-We lived in the house right behind Pensions until I was 7 , then we moved to King St.
-Used to be Archie's when I grew up on Dufferin St.think their last name was Girard
-I think the ppl that ran Chois. Bought KATRINA and Steve’s store in Alma just outside fergus
-Lived on Ewing in the 60's and was sent to Archie's many times to fetch smokes for parents with any change left for candy. Thanks for sharing!
-I remember painting rocks gold and getting us to go in the store with the gold rocks and buy candy and Archie would always give us some
-Thats funny. Glad it worked!
-It was funny
-Hewson Cres and that area was Hewsons farm, used to play in the barn, and they had a white horse that Terry Bludd used to try and ride.If I remember correctly, Steamer Emmerson married a Hewson from the farm. When they built the Swanick subdivision my Aunt & Uncle Chuck & Eve Hennessey paid around $10,000, and my Dad saying," how the hell they ever going to pay for that".
-Great bit of history. Forgot about the Swanick name. Wonder if a photo exists of the Hewson farm before it was developed?
-We moved to Hewson in 1957. My parents paid $17900 for their house. Monthly mortgage and taxes were$85.
-My grandpa owned the hewson farm. My mom Margaret lived in the farmhouse with my sister and brother. Ehen the subdivision came in my mom moved into the house next door my grandna owned the next to house that she rented out my aunt Muriel and uncle wheldon (streamer) moved into 4 house down. Lots of memories. Elizabeth street was named after my grandma Elisabeth Hewson..
-That's interesting history. We lived in one of the Swanick homes throughout the 60's. I think the development completed around 1958. Perhaps Ewing st. was the only one there at the time of the farm?
-I remember the Moore farm that was across the road used to over there a lot really nice people
-I lived at 365 Main when I was a kid and only the farmhouse was across the road then.......way before Moore Park was ever built
-Jim, we also lived just around the corner from Archie's, at 11 Ewing, in '59-'60. That's where we lived when our dad died. Do you remember that? You would have been pretty young...
-PIL VARIETY (in the 80's!)
-was jug city for a while in the 80s
-sweet marie 6 cents🤗
-Thinking it was Archies in the late 60's........
-Used to go for cigarettes for my parents and they had ice cream (think they were called Mallow roles). Lived at 78 Main St., the house was taken down long ago, what a shame.
-Great memories! I lived on Temple in the late 80s and 90s and spent many times picking out candy and getting bread and milk for my mom. Oh and using the pay phone outside for private calls away from my mom lol....the days pre-cell phones remember those days?
-Way back in the day this store was owned n ran by the Girard Family . at one time the Manes Family ran this store , it was called JUG CITY then when we lived on Temple Road in the 70s early 80s ...
-Sat closed for a few years way back when a youngster living on Elizabeth Street. Fendley's owned it way back then the shutdown. Pay phone was above the garbage can in picture then the rusty bridge to get to Chapel Street School.
-"10¢ of mixed up candy please!"
-My Uncle Archie and Aunt Jessie Penson owned this store. I also worked there, part-time,in the 1970's when it was owned by Dave Manes and his wife. :) The three little white houses beside it on Ewing St., were given to my aunts as gifts from their mother. Mrs. Loude (my great grandmother on my Mom's side) Jessie, Kitty (Katherine) and Mildred. Her other daughter, Edith became my grandmother McDonald and owned a Fish N Chip Store on the main street of Barrie. It was great to visit my Aunts on Ewing St., and turn left down Arletta and visit my Grandpa Norton, Uncle Cliff and Uncle Abby (on my father's side of the family) ;)
