Why Would Someone Close A Rural Grocery Store & Abandon The Inventory….

There is one that closed in 1963 and all of the canned groceries, tobacco items, dishes, and other things are still sitting on the shelves. Someone could make a fortune today if they sold everything. I think this store is in Canada.

Maybe the proprietor died and there was no one there to deal with his estate, so it was just abandoned.

@DunningKruger If they have property taxes in Canada then someone had to pay those, the heirs probably. At this point it’s nearly like a museum of an old time general store. I think they keep it locked up. Really neat everything he showed.

@cherokeepatti I think I saw that in a Curiosity Inc. video.
