With the death of Dick Askew in 1951, the Vernon location was closed as well as the Revelstoke location. The Salmon Arm store and the Kamloops location remained. The Askew sisters moved away with their husbands, Gordon became a cattle buyer in Colorado, Donald became a meat salesman in Alberta, David took over the store in Kamloops and Lloyd reamined in Salmon Arm to manage the business.

By the mid-1960s Lloyd knew it was time for expansion. Together with his major supplier, Malkins, he began to plan the store that is in its present location on Lakeshore Drive. The official opening took place on Novermber 27, 1967 boasting 8000 sq. ft. of retail space. Since then two more expansions have taken place making a total of 16,500 sq. ft.
