Histoire administrative
Cooke's Old World Shop Limited, formerly known as Cooke's Fine Foods, began as an Italian warehouse, operated in 1865 by William Begg and Co. It was a wholesale and retail grocery, wine and spirit business. J.S. Henderson took over and ran the business from the 1880's to 1924 when the store was purchased by Hugh Cooke, a longtime employee. During the 1930's, Cooke also operated a Red and White Store next door. A fire broke out in the store in 1925 but the building was fortunately saved. During World War II thousands of specialty baskets were shipped overseas. In 1966 John Cooke took over the operation of the store and wine and beermaking supplies were added to numerous specialty foodstuffs and fresh ground coffee.
