Dear Friends, I have noticed that some of you are still checking in on us. Thank you for your continued support and we hope that the Ashton General Store will someday be back to serve you xo

Very touching and heart-filled goodbyes to the Ashton General Store today. Many residents turned out to express their thanks to Sylvie for her service to the co...mmunity over the last five years, including Gov. General David Johnston and his wife Sharon. Thanks to all for their outpouring of goodwill and shared memories! (Detailed story to follow from Community News Reporter, Carol Anne Meehan.) See more

Dear Ashton friends and family: Thank you for the wonderful send off yesterday, it was overwhelming to see everyone gathered in one place and we recognize the hard work that went into making it such a success (many thanks to the organising committee). Seeing the community come together has always been our dream, and we thank you for letting it happen. Please keep the spirit of Ashton alive.

Dear friends and valued customers, It is with great regret that we must inform you that, despite our best efforts to the contrary, the owner of the building in which our business, The Ashton General Store, is located has decided that we will have to close our doors for good on April 22nd, 2016. Somehow, the owner, the Estate of our dearly departed friend, Bill Patterson, has concluded that the value of an empty building is greater than a building containing our viable and vib...rant business serving the community. It is hard for us to express the sorrow we feel knowing that we will no longer have the privilege of greeting you in the mornings and wishing you the best day ever, or helping you deliver an important parcel for your grand-daughters' birthday or, just chatting with a friend. When we first bought the business in 2011, we had a vision that it should be a community space; a place where we could all gather and feel comfortable enjoying each other's company. We and our family all regret the loss to our community more than any economic hardship we ourselves may suffer. Our thoughts are with you. You will always be our Ashton family. We love you all! Sincerely, Jean and Sylvie Pignal
