This business changed names and owners a number of times, as Bob's BA Service Station from 1952–79, the Rainbow Diner from 1979, then the Rainbow Truck Stop, and now Jeremy's Truck Stop. As well, the site of the former town park, also adjacent to the new Highway 17, was redeveloped into a Texaco gas station. The site was later redeveloped again as the Busy Bee, a large roadhouse-style restaurant which opened in 1994. After a fire and financial problems, this restaurant closed and is currently abandoned. A new general store, Laurier's Convenience Store, was constructed on Smith Street south of the highway, but was only open briefly and is now closed.
