Biggar Square Deal Refreshment Store






H.H. Miller came to this area in 1908 and took out a homestead. In February 1909, prior to the incorporation of the Village of Biggar there was enough people and activity taking place that he opened the Biggar Square Deal Refreshment Store. The store was a lot like our convenience stores of today carrying tobacco products, confectionery, ice cream and soft drinks, along with stationary, postcards, magazines and newspapers.
