Ave Maria has been around since 1988 when Louis and Rolande Matte teamed up with Dave Fuller and started a store.

Initially Ave Maria sold Health foods, Gifts, as well as medical supplies. However after about a year, another medical supply store opened up. It was about this time that the demand for our health foods and vitamins was picking up and in order to expand the selection we sold out the inventory to AJ Medical. In recent years we have expanded our produce sections and have devoted isles to serving allergies and gluten free customers.

Ave Maria and Mother Maria's Market are devoted to servicing the Northern part of B.C.and are grateful to the customers that come into the store when passing through town from outlying communities.

In addition to the Health foods, Gifts, and Books, Ave Maria is a supplier to the churches of the north and we have a full line of church supplies in our back room.

If you have questions about the store or would like more information on some of the products we have available please contact us at:
