Label TextIn 1865, Thomas Frazer Kingsmill, an Irish immigrant, saw opportunity and opened a dry goods store on the main street of London, Ontario, Canada. From this same location, for almost 150 years, the Kingsmill family operated a store offering fine products and services. The original 1,800 square foot dry goods store continually evolved into a 73,000 square foot department store known for its personalized service and quality products. The five floors of the store offer a broad range of quality goods including home furnishings, fine china and collectibles, women’s, men’s and children’s fashions, cosmetics, linens, gifts, kitchen ware, luggage and much more.
