2338 Bonny Road

 

A building riddled with history for Bouchie Lake for many current and former residences. Occasionally we will get a guest who will share stories of visiting the store during their younger days, purchasing penny candy or when there was a restaurant in the building or when the post boxes and gas tanks were there or when there was a robbery, or when one could purchase ice cream through a drive through, and so forth. Sometimes we will even get a former employee. 

The building at 2338 Bonny Road was constructed in the early 1970's as a more modern store to replace the original Bouchie Lake General Store (Bonny Hill Store) that was located proximal to where Rocky's General Store is today (across from the site of the old hall - destroyed by fire in 1974).  

2338 Bonny Road was built by Dr. Jarvis Tompkins who had purchased the Vernon Estate. He constructed it for a Mr. Dick Burke who leased it from Dr. Tompkins until his retirement in 1978. For the most part, it was a basic general store, until 2010 when it became a feed store. We took it over in 2015.
