Many changes took place over the next years: shopping by mail, meat peddling routes to North and South Canoe, Silver Creek, Notch Hill and Sorrento Blind Bay areas. A special recipe for smoked ham and bacon was developed and marketed as the Kurosweet brand. As Dick and Mary Askew's childern grew old enough all worked in the business.

Groceries were added to the product line and soon 500 frozen food lockers were provided for people to rent for keeping their frozen food. A Kamloops location was added and in 1948 a location in Vernon was opened, managed by Dick's oldest son Lloyd.
