History

George and Olive Rowlands moved into the Belmont district in 1920. In 1929, George began his own produce business and with the Belmont Railway Station only a short distance away, the daily delivery of supplies was greatly facilitated. However, when the railway line was closed in 1956, the store was greatly inconvenienced.

When George Senior retired, the business was carried by his sons George and Stan. Both sons retired from the business in September 1984.

The demolition of the building was approved in 2011 for the expansion of the Great Eastern Highway.
