Langley Prairie Meat Market came to be known as Fuller's Meat Market in 1927 when E. R. (Ted) Fuller renamed his local butcher shop. Fuller had visited Langley Prairie in 1919 and decided to stay. He bought the village's first bucher shop in 1920, located near Profontaine's store. In 1922 he moved the business closer to the centre of the commercial area, building a new shop just east of the Prairie's new Royal Bank (on today's Fraser Hwy-2004), on land previously used for Jim Gibbon's blacksmith shop. In 1959 Fuller sold his property to the Royal Bank, who tore it down and established a new branch. In the meantime, Fuller's Meat Market relocated to a new location on Douglas Crescent and was carried on by his sons, Jack and Roy (Pete).
