The 'Jubilee' General Store was built at 7 Wasleys Road by Mr Ebeneezer Hastwell prior to 1870.
In 1893 the store was owned and operated as a joint venture by Weddell and Dunstan.
Mr A Dunstan became the owner in 1895 and operated the store for 21 years. He took his wares in a horse drawn buggy to the local farms and travelled out of the district as far as Wasley.
The store was sold i to Woolcock, Worden & Co. in 1914.
It then became known as 'Wordens Store'. Mr Woolcock continued the visits to the farms and on to Wasleys.
Mr A. Pym purchased the store from Woolcock, Worden & Co. in c. 1948 and managed it until 1974 when he retired to Adelaide.
Following a quick turnover of several owners, Mrs Robinson closed the store in 2001.
After several years as a private home, the shop reopened as the Seven Stars Cafe. This venture only operated for a short time before closing, and the building is again a private home.
