The "Jubilee" General Store was built at 7 Wasleys Road by Mr. Ebeneezer Hastwell prior to 1870.
Later, it was owned by Mr. A. Dunstan, who had a horse drawn buggy with which he visited farms and establishments as far as Wasleys. Mr. Dunstan owned the store for 21 years, until he eventually sold it 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 is again a private home.
