Welcome to Kingsmills

Description

In 1865 Thomas Frazer Kingsmill, an Irish immigrant, opened a dry goods store on the main street of London, Ontario, Canada. For over 139 years, the Kingsmill family has continued to offer fine products and services from this location. The family history represents a proud tradition of retail service to residents of Southwestern Ontario and beyond.

The present building, the third to house the store on this site dates to the 1930’s when fire destroyed the previous structure. The art deco style building features original tin-plated ceilings and hardwood floors. Other unique features of the building include a pneumatic tube system used to send paperwork and change throughout the store, and an old style elevator complete with an operator. These features have survived over the years in a conscious effort to maintain the character and elegance of the building.

Over the years the business has continually evolved to keep up with ever changing consumer demands and the latest trends in retail. The most recent edition is a Gourmet Kitchen Shop located in newly renovated space adjacent to the main floor. The store can best be described as a specialty department store known for the quality of its products and services.
