Stevens Creek Decor Centre Anniversary!

As we celebrate the One Year Anniversary of our new location (2678 County Road 43) we
wanted to salute the history of one of the brands we represent. Cloverdale Paint is a
Canadian success story started on the farm of Rudy Henke in 1933. Mr Henke, made cider as
a hobby for years before he started his paint business. Pressing cider was an annual event
on the Henke farm in BC, so it was natural for the enterprising chemist to offer a glass of
fresh cider to paint customers. This custom was carried on even after the factory was
moved to Langley in 1946. We’re proud to revive this tradition here in Kemptville with the
opening of our new local paint store. We had wanted to celebrate sooner, but with the on and
off shutdowns and restrictions we thought it best to wait.
