People/Subject
Berry General Store (Fraser Highway)
Harry (W.H.) Berry opened his store at 23210 Fraser Highway in 1930. Before this, he had run another store on Old Yale Road, but moved to this location when Fraser Highway became part of the Trans-Canada Highway system. Much of the local community survived the Depression due to Berry's extension of credit. Berry's nephew Jack Maitland began working in the store in 1946, and managed it until 1980. He and then partner Ernie Morelli sold and turned the management over to Kyung Il Chun. During the 1980s (and up until at least 2012) the store was run as "Ye Olde Country General Store."
