This is the store that Reg Williams owned named “Williams Tom Boy Neepawa Grocery.” Back then, telephone numbers were only two digits long and the phone number for this Neepawa Grocery store was 97. This store was located on Mountain Avenue. In 1967, the store moved to its current location, at the corner of Mountain Avenue and Hamilton Street.
