-Boy we were so lucky to grow up in a era with so many kind and wonderful people.
-Our favourite grocery store in glen Williams great people
-Great memories of Preston Store and going to school with Gordie. Mr. Preston was always so kind to children. 🤗🤗
-We lived on Confederation St. in The Glen for a few years, and did most of my grocery shopping there. We were 4 or 5 houses south of the store. Such a great store and wonderful people!! I could send my 5 year old son with a note of the things I'd want and they'd "help him shop", put it in his wagon and send him on his way. I could drop in later or another day and pay them. Things were so much better back then!!
-My grandparents lived in Glenn Williams. My brother and I were regulars at Preston's Store which was a5 minute walk from their home. George and Vi and Gordie knew all their customers by name. Great memories. Thanks for posting.
-I remember the bingo bus filling up with all the ladies from the Glen - Vi, my granny Helen Norton etc good times good memories !!
-Went on that bus also Jacki with Granny Mino her sister who lived on Karen Dr beside me Aunt Rose I think 🤔 great Glen memories. Ordered all my meat from Gordie so good and Gordie always was the best butcher.
So many great ball games watched in the Glen. Preston’s and Wheelers were the hub of the community for sure. Thanks Bonnie hugs 🤗
-Speak of Granny Mino. I loved her, she was such a sweet Lady. And with all the Family she had, she always remembered who we were......
- I worked at Prestons for about 4 years great people to work for
-I lived in the Glen on Confederation Street until I was 10; great memories! Loved Preston's store. Mr. Preston was always so wonderful to talk to all the kids; he knew all his customers by name. Such a close knit community back then; wonder if its the same now.
- I used to love taking walks to Preston’s for ice cream. I remember Geordie was always so patient with us kids. Such an amazing person. ♥️
-is still in the Glen and Prestons is still the corner store. The current owners are a wonderful family and true Glen folk.
-they sure are !! They deliver to any of the elderly folks that need groceries but can't make it to the store 🙂
- Awesome people
-In a world of constant change, it’s nice to know some good things stay the same.
-Wow I remember Gord Preston as a kid !
-Lived next door to Gord for a couple of years...very nice, friendly man.
-was the best butcher you could ever find. We bough all our meats at Preston's. It was delicious.
- I use to work at Preston's..
-What wonderful folks, mom did all her grocery shopping there, we would run a weekly tab and on Thursdays (pay day) when mom went shopping she would clear it up. Mrs Preston in her 90s was still coming to the Milton Optimist Bingo. :)
-We bought all our meat from Prestons. Once I shopped and had a lot of groceries, I forget to bring money! They just said, bring it next time.....who does that to-day ??
-i luv that the new people kept the name!! stop there for coffees some mornings still :D
- Great people
- Just seeing their picture floods back memories of the Prestons and their store.
- I too used to work there it was my first part-time job when I was 15 back in 85’....I used to make all the signs for the specials that went in the windows 😃😃 great memories
- All beautiful people, kindness above and beyond for locals.
-In Glen Williams.
-They were the only store which was open Sundays for years Bought many steak there
-we bought our sides of beef from Preston's
-Had the Glen as a paper route in the 60s. Spent all my tips on chocolate bars at Prestons and Wheelers.
-Wonderful people
-Nice family..my Father always stopped for gas there. My Uncle was his brother or Cousin.
