Owned and operated by Marilyn and Clarus (Bim) Bridle, the business began in 1896 as the Red Bay Co-Operative Store. The Red Bay Co-op was established by local fishermen with the assistance of Sir Wilfred Grenfell. Several decades later The Red Bay Store was bought by W. Y. Pike, and was passed down through three generations, changing with the times, to become today's Whaler's Station.
