Introduction

“Hello. We’re Ron and Marg Kent. For five generations, Kentvale Merchants has been the one - stop shopping centre for residents of St. Joseph Island and the surrounding area. Our sale of hardware items, building materials, pumps, power tools, electrical supplies, paints, animal feed, groceries and dry goods are all backed by over 100 years of experience.”

Nestled in the heart of St. Joseph Island sits a unique old style family business.

A country general store that has grown and matured through four generations of the Kent family. At Kentvale Merchants, the staff works hard to provide you - our customers - with the products, prices and service you demand.

	The store is best known for its diversified hardware selection but many other departments can be found while poking around the many nooks and crannies at Kentvale. For over 118 year, residents, farmers and seasonal cottagers on and around St. Joseph Island have appreciated and come to rely on the old fashioned service and value they receive.
At Kentvale, we have combined these traditional values of service with a modern state - of - the - art computerized inventory system, corporate associations and online presence to remain a retail leader as we enter another new century.

One stop shopping is the main goal at Kentvale. Combining a convenience / grocery section, hardware store, lumber yard, small engine repair and glass shops and over 118 years of history within its walls, Kentvale Merchants is a must see destination on St. Joseph Island.
