Notes
The Grimshaw Farm Supply Centre opened on October 15, 1964, with Ken Croskery as the first manager.The building is 6,000 square feet of warehouse and showroom. A new bulk station opened the following year, right next to the farm supply store, with Karl Schwendeman as agent. This was northwestern Alberta's second store. Grimshaw, at this time had a population of 1,600 and had only been incorporated as a town eleven years earlier.
