The MLA for the eastern shore says the new NSLC agency store in Jeddore has been well received one year after the corporate store closed.

Jeddore Variety now offers alcohol products and according to Kent Smith, it is not an inexpensive endeavor.

“Really happy and proud of Paul Wolf for stepping up,” says Smith. “Paul’s store is kind of famous locally as the local PaulMarts.”

He says the store as a wonderful array of products and believes the Paul was happy to be able to take this on.

Store closes

It was last summer when the only NSLC in the community abruptly shut down due to a dispute with the landlord regarding upgrades and safety concerns.

The store had been around for nearly 40 years. The closure meant residents had to travel further away to get their products, until now.

“I had a number of people reach out who were [making] the drive to Porter’s Lake to pick up alcohol” says Smith.

Smith adds, another agency store is likely to pop up in Musquodoboit Harbour as well.
