About Red Apple Store
At 507 Cliff Avenue, the Red Apple Store sits inside the compact grid of heritage storefronts that makes up downtown Enderby, a block up from the Shuswap River.
General merchandise stores earn their place in a small town by covering the wide, shallow middle of what a household needs: cleaning supplies, kitchen odds and ends, socks and basics, stationery and school supplies, toys, cards, and seasonal goods that come and go with the calendar. None of it is exotic, and that is precisely the point. Every one of those items is otherwise a drive to Vernon or Salmon Arm and back, which is a good part of a day spent on a mop head.
Stock in a store of this kind turns over with the season, so a phone call about a specific item is more reliable than assuming, particularly for anything tied to a holiday or the start of the school year. The town has taken in newcomers over the last several years, drawn in part by housing prices well below the valley average, and a store on the main street is generally the first stop for people setting up a household without wanting to drive out of town to do it. In summer the same shelves catch campers and paddlers passing through toward Mabel Lake and the Shuswap waterways, restocking whatever got left at home.
