Town & Country Company History

Town & Country Limited began as Mossman CANEGROWERS Co-operative society back in 1957, for many years trading in mostly hardware from a small wooden building down on Mill Street. The Co-op had shareholders, which were and still are to this day local cane farmers and their descendants.

In the early ’80s the Co-op purchased the building where it is currently situated. They changed their name to Town & Country Store and became an unlisted public company. In the building they traded with a supermarket and in ’96 the business was moved to the new premises of Town & Country Limited Shopping Centre. The supermarket was subsequently sold to Woolworths Queensland in ’98, enabling the hardware store to increase in size as it stands today.
