Elmers Lane

Elmers Lane and Quantrills Terrace: Elmers Hardware opened for business in May 1959 in one unit at Edmonton Road. In 1966 the adjoining unit was purchased from Quantrill’s the Grocers and the two properties knocked into one. The opening coincided with the Apollo 11 blast off for the first moon landing!

In 1982 expansion continued to 5,000 sq ft including both hardware and groceries. In the late ’80’s the grocery business fell away to the multiples and eventually closed. Thus we have the present hardware shop.
