ABOUT THIS IMAGE

TitleSomers Family Store, cnr Beach Road and David Low Way, Coolum, ca 1960sAdditional InformationLloyd and Mavis Somers bought the corner store in Coolum, moving in on November 1, 1962.

January 1963 the upper story was damaged by a series of cyclones. After repairs the family rallied and continued with their business.

By 1974 the business had outgrown the iconic corner store, so the family built a modern arcade next to the existing building, incorporating a modern supermarket, a newsagent, drapery store and the real estate office. The old building stayed until 1987, when it was replaced by a modern brick structure, but Lloyd continued working until his retirement in 1998.Dateca 1960sImage NoT4004091
