The General Store has officially reopened its doors in Britannia Beach. Previously closed as part of a complete redevelopment, the store has been thoughtfully redesigned and expanded, while maintaining its familiar rustic charm, according to a press release by its new owner.
Located near the Britannia Mine Museum, The General Store offers a wide selection of fresh groceries, local goods, and everyday essentials, as well as brick-oven pizza, coffee, ready-made foods, and a curated selection of wine, beer, and liquor.
“We’re excited to bring The General Store back to Britannia Beach,” said Jason Kittler, Managing Director, The Boat Shed Hospitality Group.
“This has always been more than just a store—it’s a gathering place for the community, and we’re thrilled to offer fresh food, great coffee and a fantastic selection of beverages in such a stunning location overlooking the Howe Sound.”
The General Store is operated by The Boat Shed Group, which is most known for its restaurants in Ambleside and on Cypress Mountain. “As an anchor tenant, The General Store plays a vital role in revitalizing the historic retail village, and with the addition of a large outdoor patio, the store aims to create a lively and engaging atmosphere that fully capitalizes on the scenic surroundings,” Kittler noted.
The General Store is part of a larger revitalization of the Britannia Beach village, which has been upgraded to preserve its historical aesthetic while adapting to modern commercial use. The community now features a variety of new shops, attractions and townhomes.
