REPUTATION
to us!
reputation is an enviable thing... it has to be
earned, jealously guarded and continually
nurtured.
From our reputation has stemmed the tremendous
acceptance of DARLING'S IGA as a family shopping
adventure.
Fred Darling has been engaged in the meat and
grocery business since 1942, when he started working
for the late Harp Rivers in Rivers Meat Market.
In 1947, Fred joined partnership with Bill Chambers
and purchased the business from Harp. They operated
Chambers and Darlings Meat Market and when that
partnership was dissolved, Fred started Darling's Meat
Market and then took over the IGA franchise with its
first location in the present Middleton Drugs building.
In 1959, he moved the store to its present site and it
was expanded in 1965.
Darling's continued to expand by establishing in
Lucan in 1962 and in Huron Park in 1969. Last month,
their modern new abattoir at the north end of Exeter
was completed.
Fred's 31 years in the grocery and meat business has
earned -him -a reputation -for quality -standards; value -
and customer acceptance.
Equally important is Darling's reputation for
SERVICE... the helpful clerk, the butcher who cuts it
just the way you want, or the friendly fellow who
helps carry your parcels.
It has to be good, because you've been coming back
to Darling's since 1946. Fred and his staff thank you
for that and hope you'll continue to keep coming back.
We're not interested in making money... we just like
to make friends.
