It was the spring of 1858 and the colony was invaded by more than 20,000 miners, all desperate to reach the rich gold fields of the Fraser River.

Replacing the former con- ventional outlet on West First Street, the new store is located at 150 East Columbia Garden Road behind the Lib- erty Foot Store. At 2,500 square feet, the new Fruitvale store offers a choiceof almost 700 products to area customers. Items are easier to view and select in wire islands for wine and liq- ueurs, and on continuous beer floor racks. Palletized and climatized unloading facilities, as well as improved office and staff facilities, are additional fea- tures of the bright new store. Hours of sale are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Thursday and Saturday, Friday until 9 p.m. Closed for lunch 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. With the completion of the Fruitvale store, the Liquor Distribution Branch now has a total of 145 self-serve outlets throughout the prov- ince.
