McBrides celebrates 100 years in the community

It’s a major milestone for a beloved local landmark—McBrides is officially celebrating 100 years since first opening its doors as Imperial Garage in 1924.

To mark the occasion, McBrides is inviting the community to join in on the festivities this Thursday, May 30th, for a special 100th Anniversary Celebration Day. The event also coincides with the grand re-opening of Puppycats Pet Emporium, which has just completed a round of renovations.

Visitors can look forward to a community BBQ, coffee, cake, and prizes, along with great deals at the pet store and vendor representatives on site to share product info and giveaways.

Guests are encouraged to stop by, share their memories, and view the iconic photo of Bob McBride, proudly shown at the centre in his trademark fedora—a nod to the business’s deep roots in the community.

McBrides says it’s the perfect chance to celebrate a century of service, local history, and the loyal customers who made it all possible.

The celebration takes place on May 30th. Everyone is welcome!
