Schnurr’s Grocery in Linwood started out making and repairing boots and shoes before becoming a grocery store 165 years ago.
But today, Schnurr’s — one of the oldest family run grocery stores in Canada — offers sushi, as well as cheese, meats and fresh produce that are locally sourced.
“My great-grandfather, John Schnurr, came to Canada and originally opened up the store as a shoe store. His trade was a cobbler,” Don Schnurr told CBC News.
“As his business grew he started taking trade in from the community. Produce, eggs, butter that sort of thing,” he said, adding his great-grandfather then started to add general merchandise and groceries.
