It sold wines, spirits, tobacco, groceries, provisions, hardware, agricultural goods, and household necessities, while also serving as a family home with living quarters above the shop.

The store ceased operating in the early 1960s, and the lettering above the windows and doors remained visible until the 21st century, when it was removed by the then-owner.
