The saga of the shopkeepers continues! Join Larissa Ciupka as she tackles the tales of yet more grocers of early Victoria. Learn about the fascinating people who competed among themselves, married their children to each other, and built fabulous homes, all while keeping the families of this city fed. Special guest Ken Sudhues will spill the tea on the sometimes scandalous story of his great-grandfather, founder of the well-appointed H. Saunders Grocery and Liquor Store. Larissa’s Grocery Wars tour in2024 was one of the hits of the season. Don’t miss this new exposé of Victoria’s lively business scene.
