The Campbell’s of Edmonton established a furniture store in Grande Prairie in March of 1937, and by October were making improvements to their store with the addition of a 3 foot neon clock. Mr. Campbell had stated in earlier articles that his business plan was to do lots of newspaper and radio advertising, and keep an up to date stock on hand. I tried to find out how long the store was in Grande Prairie, but only found one reference to a flower shop moving in to the old Campbell’s building in 1959.
Campbell’s Furniture from the March 25, 1937 Northern Tribune. The store was located on the north side of 100 Avenue, in the 100-101 Street block, beside the Royal Cafe. The building was later occupied by the Alberta 5¢ to $1.00 Store.
