Old’s Cool is nestled in a lovely residential hub in East York. It is a corner front building that has a 100 year history of commerce. We have tried to retain parts of that history by restoring and showcasing artifacts found in the building, this includes: the 100 year old tin roof, the 80 year old cash register and the 60 year old butcher block (from when the store was a butchery/grocer in the 1950’s).

Community members have been gracing us with unique vintage family heirlooms, now on display at Old’s Cool: the 150 year old spinning loom, the 1908 Singer Sewing Machine, the pre-electricity heaters and radios and many other historical treasures.

At The Old’s Cool General Store we have decided to resurrect some of the old practices of general stores as well, such as fostering neighborhood talent and using trade and barter. We have several talented neighbors who now sell their creations at our store, you will find many one of a kind items here.

We carry a wide range of products from groceries to novelty toys, starting local but also scouring the international landscape to bring the best of the world to our little neighborhood. In terms of food, our grocery list keeps expanding. We try to bring in locally sourced and organic options, but understand the desire for a good old bag of sour cream and onion chips!

Finally, we have a great cup of organic fair trade coffee accompanied by local baked goods that will blow your mind. We welcome you to come and say hello to us at the Old’s Cool General Store. We hope that you will stay and have a coffee or a treat, and that once you get to know us, we will be friends for life.
