The 49th Parallel Grocery stores are owned and operated by Wayne and Harmina Richmond. The Richmond's purchased the 49th Parallel Grocery store in Ladysmith, August of 1977. Since then three more stores have been added to the 49th family, Cedar, Chemainus and Duncan locations. The 49th also has a flower and gift store, Blooms and Parallel Printers, for all your copy/stationary needs. The 49th is truly your friendliest community store with the variety you need from the family who cares. At the 49th we offer each and every customer fresh, top quality products, and unparalleled service in a safe, clean shopping environment. 49th Parallel Grocery stores will continue to play a big part on the daily life of our local community.more...See more text
