The store was owned by J.B. Gilfillan and had several different owners while it was in business. In 1937, Sam Canning was owner of the general store and sold it to Jim McCarthy who ran it until 1945 when Ioco residents purchased it and began a co-op. The store was known as Evan's Grocery and was operated by George Evans and Jack Popham. The Tuckey's purchased the Ioco store in 1950 and in the late 1950's it was sold to Denny Sheirk who ran the store until its closure in 1995. <br /> </span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc2"> <h4 class="float-right">2</h4> <span class="cmStoryLine"> Ioco General Store<br />20th Century, Circa 1921<br /> Ioco Townsite, British Columbia, Canada<br /> </span> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> </span> <br /> <br /> <a href="#2" onClick="window.open('pm_v2.php?id=display_original&lg=English&fl=0&rd=165652','CM', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=800,height=600')"><span class="topNavWhite"><img src="CommunityMemories2/ACDR/0004/image/storycard/ACDR00040012.jpg" ></span></a> <span class="cmStoryLineText">Credits:<br />Port Moody Station Museum-- Acc. # 2009.012.023<br></span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc3"> <h4 class="float-left">3</h4> <span class="cmStoryLine"> Ioco General Store -- known as Evan's Grocery<br />20th Century, Circa 1947<br /> Ioco Townsite, British Columbia, Canada<br /> </span> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> </span> <br /> <br /> <a href="#3" onClick="window.open('pm_v2.php?id=display_original&lg=English&fl=0&rd=165771','CM', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=644,height=405')"><span class="topNavWhite"><img src="CommunityMemories2/ACDR/0004/image/storycard/ACDR00040089.jpg" ></span></a> <span class="cmStoryLineText">Credits:<br />Port Moody Station Museum-- Acc. # 1988.129.002<br></span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc4"> <h4 class="float-right">4</h4> <span class="cmStoryLine"> Barrel from Ioco General Store<br />1920-1950<br /> Ioco Townsite, British Columbia, Canada<br /> </span> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> </span> <br /> <br /> <a href="#4" onClick="window.open('pm_v2.php?id=display_original&lg=English&fl=0&rd=165778','CM', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=800,height=600')"><span class="topNavWhite"><img src="CommunityMemories2/ACDR/0004/image/storycard/ACDR00040090.jpg" ></span></a> <span class="cmStoryLineText">Credits:<br />Port Moody Station Museum-- Acc. # 1983.040.004<br></span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc5"> <h4 class="float-left">5</h4> <span class="cmStoryLine"> Ioco Groceteria<br />20th Century, Circa 1960<br /> Ioco Townsite, British Columbia, Canada<br /> </span> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> </span> <br /> <br /> <a href="#5" onClick="window.open('pm_v2.php?id=display_original&lg=English&fl=0&rd=165741','CM', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=800,height=600')"><span class="topNavWhite"><img src="CommunityMemories2/ACDR/0004/image/storycard/ACDR0004006b.jpg" ></span></a> <span class="cmStoryLineText">Credits:<br />Port Moody Station Museum-- Acc. # 2009.012.022<br></span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc6"> <h4 class="float-right">6</h4> <span class="cmStoryLine"> Interview with Ioco Resident Mrs. Kingsbury -- the general store and use of it's basement<br />2 February 1984<br /> Ioco Townsite, British Columbia, Canada<br /> </span> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> </span> <br /> <br /> <a href="#" onclick="moWin('CM_V2_Apps/ui/moWindow.php?recID=165779&mediaUrl=/media/hdcn-cm%2FACDR%2F0004%2Faudio%2FACDR00040091.asf&exTitle=Ioco%3A+Life+in+a+Company+Town&lg=English');" > <img src="English/CommunityMemories2/cm_images/audio_storycard.jpg"></a> <span class="cmStoryLineText">Credits:<br />Port Moody Station Museum<br></span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc7"> <h4 class="float-left">7</h4> <span class="cmStoryLine"> Ioco Department Store Ad shown in Ioco Exhibition Association's Second Annual Fair Prize List<br />6 September 1919<br /> Ioco Townsite, British Columbia, Canada<br /> </span> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> </span> <br /> <br /> <a href="#7" onClick="window.open('pm_v2.php?id=display_original&lg=English&fl=0&rd=165774','CM', 'toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=417,height=567')"><span class="topNavWhite"><img src="CommunityMemories2/ACDR/0004/image/storycard/ACDR0004008c.jpg" ></span></a> <span class="cmStoryLineText">Credits:<br />Port Moody Station Museum-- Acc. # 1971.084.004<br></span> </div> <div class="sc" id="sc8"> <h4 class="float-right">8</h4> <span class="cmStoryLineText"> Advertisements for several shops and services in the lower mainland were published in a 1919 prize list for Ioco's Second Annual Fair.
