⚠️ A plea: As most are aware but maybe not all, this 55+ year old successful, family-run store is not promised tomorrow. THE BRIDGE ON SEAL COVE ROAD THAT CONNECTS US TO ALL OTHER PARTS OF THE ENTIRETY OF CBS HAS BEEN OUT OF COMMISSION SINCE MAY 4, 2026. RESTORATION TIME IS “EARLY WINTER”…

Although we are still accessible via a detour, we understand that people don’t want to burn extra gas and take extra time and to go out of their way when they could just get on Peacekeeprs Way and go to Sobeys and the corporate liquor store in Long Pond.

The bridge is now expected to be completed in December. Not to be negative, but realistic, it’s likely to be well into 2027 before the bridge is completed. This will no doubt run us into the ground.

💡 Imagine there being a huge hole on Fowler’s Road for a full year making it impassible! A non-thoroughfare on Fowler’s Road? For a year? It just wouldn’t happen.

Please see Town of Conception Bay South posts on this matter/their timeline in the comments.

We have reached out to The Town of CBS. It has been 2 weeks now and no response.

A lot of blood, sweat and tears have gone into this place since we (Thomas, Kristen & Brody (8)) took over this “Mom ‘n Pop Shop’ over 5 years ago. To have it slowly slip away from us is really hard to put into words. This store is like our second child.

We thought we could survive missing our busy Summer period. Now for our busy Christmas period to also be gone….well that’s our bread and butter gone for the year. Small, independent businesses simply can’t miss the Summer and Christmas rushes.

Our plea is that when and/or if you are able, please come visit us. We simply need people coming in through the door.

We are open Labour Day Monday.
We have everything you need under one roof.

Take care and thank you to our loyal customers who make the trek through the detour to see us. Please share, like or comment. We are at our wits end and we don’t know what to do.

Perched at the edge of our property, these bright yellow Adirondack chairs offer front-row seats to one of Newfoundland's greatest shows—the Atlantic Ocean. Start your day with coffee and the sound of the waves, watch seabirds glide overhead, or settle in for a spectacular sunset as the sea stretches endlessly before you.

This spot is even more special because it was built with love. A huge thank you to my dad, who built this little viewing deck and hauled these bright yellow chairs into place so our guests could experience the beauty of this coastline in the best way possible. Every time someone sits here and takes in the view, they're enjoying something he created with his own hands.

We hope you'll take a seat, slow down, and make a few unforgettable memories of your own. 💛

THE CAPELIN ARE ROLLING!

If you’re in the area, there’s a couple of great beaches to catch the excitement: The end of Doyle’s road, holyrood and topsail beaches!

The capelin roll is a spectacular natural phenomenon where millions of small, silver capelin fish swarm shallow waters and "roll" onto beaches to spawn.

This annual summer event happens on the shores of Newfoundland and Labrador, creating a massive community tradition and attracting feeding whales and seabirds. The Natural Spectacle.

The exact timing of the capelin roll varies depending on water temperatures and ocean conditions, typically occurring between mid-June and August. When the roll begins, it becomes a major event for coastal communities and tourists who flock to local beaches to observe, take photos, and scoop up the fish.

The capelin bring a feeding frenzy to the coastline, drawing in thousands of seabirds (like puffins) and humpback whales.

Freshly caught capelin are a traditional delicacy and are commonly consumed fried, dried, or salted.
