⚠️ A plea: As most are aware but maybe not all, this 55+ year old successful, family-run store is not promised tomorrow. THE BRIDGE ON SEAL COVE ROAD THAT CONNECTS US TO ALL OTHER PARTS OF THE ENTIRETY OF CBS HAS BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION SINCE MAY 4, 2026. RESTORATION TIME IS “EARLY WINTER”…
Although we are still accessible via a detour, we understand that people don’t want to burn extra gas and take extra time and to go out of their way when they could just get on Peacekeeprs Way and go to Sobeys and the corporate liquor store in Long Pond.
The bridge is now expected to be completed in December. Not to be negative, but realistic, it’s likely to be well into 2027 before the bridge is completed. This will no doubt run us into the ground.
💡 Imagine there being a huge hole on Fowler’s Road for a full year making it impassible! A non-thoroughfare on Fowler’s Road? For a year? It just wouldn’t happen.
Please see Town of Conception Bay South posts on this matter/their timeline in the comments.
We have reached out to The Town of CBS. It has been 2 weeks now and no response.
A lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into this place since we (Thomas, Kristen & Brody (8)) took over this “Mom ‘n Pop Shop’ over 5 years ago. To have it slowly slip away from us is really hard to put into words. This store is like our second child.
We thought we could survive missing our busy Summer period. Now for our busy Christmas period to also be gone….well that’s our bread and butter gone for the year. Small, independent businesses simply can’t miss the Summer and Christmas rushes.
Our plea is that when and/or if you are able, please come visit us. We simply need people coming in through the door.
We are open Labour Day Monday.
We have everything you need under one roof.
Take care and thank you to our loyal customers who make the trek through the detour to see us. Please share, like or comment. We are at our wits end and we don’t know what to do.
