Country Cupboard was founded in Red Deer and has been operating in Red Deer at the same location since 1985. The shop uses two floors of one half of a building that was constructed in 1947 by Mr. Wing Wong. Originally, The War Surplus Store and Mac Arthur’s Cycle & Sporting Goods shared the two spaces on the main floor. The upstairs was four apartments. Since then, some of the businesses that have operated at this location are, Bert’s Barber Shop, Custom Upholstery & Drapery, Portraits By Kelly, Bills Barber Shop, Kanata Studio Photography, Adanac Television, Cash and Carry Paints & Wallpaper, Georges Barber Shop, Monarch Decorating, Floral Boutique and Bridal Center, Cloverdale Paint and Wallpaper, Love Knot, Fradon’s Tonsorial Parlor, Lovewood Antiques, Alberta Lobster Ranches, Log Cabin Crafts, Crabby’s Fish Market and Seafood Restaurant, Alex Barber Shop, Wildrose Barber Shop, Franks Place Barber Shop, Rollies Barber Shop and presently Cotton Threads and Gaetz Avenue Barber Shop. The uniqueness of the historical building adds to the feel of an old country store. So much for the "old" part of the store, what’s new? Well, the present owners of the store are Don and Cathy Edwards. We bought the store in November of 2009 from Brian and Leila West who wanted to retire and enjoy their grandchildren. (We don’t have any yet!) Cathy has been in the retail service for many years and Don comes from an oilfield background and still has a finger in that. Don was born and raised in Red Deer and Cathy hails from WhitehorseYukon and moved to Red Deer in 1970. We have been married since 1979 and have three adult children presently still living in Red Deer. Our goal is to make your shopping experience relaxing as well as presenting good products with old fashioned service. We strive to bring quality products that are not available at most stores. We would like to invite everyone to stop in, say hello and see the wide variety of gift items, home décor and many unique products.
