County Tuck Shop is intended to be a co-op type "convenience" store with as many locally made products as possible while acting as a hub for foodpreneurs/ start... ups of handmade products (household items, lost artisan skills), provide competitive pricing on convenience store products and comparible locally made versions and perhaps grow into more.Yes, it is still in the conceptual phase but I think it will act kind of like The Nooks/ Hermas. Either, by rent shelf space that is maintained weekly by you or a space within the shop manned like a small scale shared market so the overhead is shared amongst all vendors not just yourself if that makes sense. It provides a community environment/support/ knowledge and the ability to rent commercial kitchen time too. See more

Not only kudos to the Sharpe Family but to all their front-line operations. Not all superheroes wear capes! Sharp’s Food Market has been awarded for several years as the best Independent Grocer in Canada. Now they have won a much special place within our community’s
