The Water Valley General Store, established in 1933, is more than just a building—it is a living piece of Alberta’s history and a cornerstone of the Water Valley community. For generations, it has provided not only everyday goods and services but also a welcoming place where neighbours meet, friendships grow, and traditions are carried forward.
Purchasing the General Store means stepping into a rare opportunity: the chance to own an iconic property that combines business potential with community impact. Centrally located in the heart of Water Valley, this historic building offers unique possibilities for retail, café, or mixed-use development, all while preserving a landmark that residents deeply value.
For the community, the General Store is more than commerce—it is a connection. For a buyer, it is both an investment in a strong business location and a role in continuing the legacy of a gathering place that has shaped Water Valley for nearly a century.
Features include inspected gas tanks, upgraded new gas pumps, a brand-new air conditioning unit, newer fixtures, and a reverse osmosis water filtration system—to name a few. This property is fully equipped and ready for turn-key operation.
In addition to a sale, the Seller is also open to leasing options. The Main Building—or the second Main Building, if preferred—can be leased upon request, providing flexibility for those who wish to operate without purchasing immediately.
