History

Established in 1899.

Located on the Southwest Corner of Center Street and First Avenue, H.P. Tergesens is Western Canada's oldest continuously operated General Merchant, operated by the same family since 1899. Early Photo of H.P. Tergesens Store Owner Hans Pjetur Tergesen opened the store in 1899, originally having two stories, the upper story being used for living quarters until 1902. It also served as a Theatre, a Dance Hall and a Classroom. In 1929, after no longer in use the upper story was removed. Svenn Johan (Joe) Tergesen, (son of Hans Pjetur & Sigridur) was a partner with his father and brother for 33 years, before he took the store over himself. Terence (Terry), (son of Svenn Johan & Lara) purchased the family business in 1987. Soren and Stefan, (sons of Terence & Lorna) ran the business together. After Soren died in 1991, Stefan took over the store and still runs it today.
