In 1907, Frederick Wadden opened a wholesale business - F.J.
Wadden - to sell confectionary and tobacco products across
Newfoundland and Labrador. Fred's son, Patrick, took over
the business in 1953 and, along with his brother, John, grew
the family business into one of the largest wholesale businesses
in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The
F.J. Wadden premises on New Gower Street where business was
conducted for upwards of fifty years.
The
journey continues as the company is now into the third generation
of family ownership. There have been good times, a few challenges,
and a lot of old-fashioned hard work by many people along
the way.
