The Spire has become so much the centre
of attention for the Smiths that this year, for
the first time, they are going to have a
manager run their Grand Bend shop and
concentrate only on the old church.
Shirley says she really enjoys retailing,
though she had had no background in it
before opening the Grand Bend shop. It's the
enjoyment of meeting people that has her in
love with the business.
"I try to stock things that are not readily
available in other stores...things that maybe
other people don't want to take a chance on,"
she says. "We've been getting a lot of people
stopping in on their way to the lake to fix up
their cottages. They seem pleased with the
variety we have."
And variety there is, from Canadian to
imported goods, from hand -made to
manufactured. There are quilts that Shirley
says she is really pleased with at prices that
might seem high to some but are a bargain,
she says, compared to quilts of equal qualiaty
in the U.S.
Then there are hand-woven bed spreads,
just arrived from Wales in old Welsh
patterns, the kind of thing that will outlast
generations of owners.
And there is a large Canadian craft section,
one that is expanding, of necessity. The cost
of imported goods, Shirley says, is going up
A small loaf of bread, some flowers, and a history of old Roy's Church.
