By: Marina Sellwood28th Jan 2024 12:41PMThe convenience store was initially built by Joseph Henry King, known as Joe, and his wife Emma Dorothy King, known at Dot. They later built a butcher store on the side, for their son Tony King. In the 1974 floods Tony & his wife Desolie, known as Des, delivered meat and groceries to local families in need, in Tony’s speed boat. With the opening of St.Ives shopping centre their sales declined and they sold their business. The grocery store was a favourite place for families of Goodna State School to drop in after school and Joe & Dot we’re affectionately remembered for their generosity of lollies for the local kids.
