LOL, my mom/dad started this business way back in the early 80's. I was about 7 years old at the time, so that must've been 1983 or 1984. Recently went back to nostalgic purposes and the place was much cleaner than what I remembered back in my youth.
The funniest story is that the Toronto Maple Leafs players would come in all the time (during the Harold Ballard days) and my dad would consistently sell them cigarettes. Yes, NHL players used to smoke back in the day.
