The first store built at this site was probably in 1870. It was one of the first shops located at Braybrook Junction.

 

Alexander Robinson purchased the store from Mr. B. Porter in 1890. Alexander operated the store for many years as a grocery and general store. In the late 1900's and early 1910's, he also operated the post office from it.

​

The original building was demolished in 1963 and replace with a new shop and residence in 1965.

​

For many years afterwards the building operated as the local shop and was only closed in the 2010's. A fire has since destroyed the interior of the shop and only the outside walls still standing.
