OLD FAITHFUL SHOP There’s a reason why Old Faithful feels like the type of general store that has been around for ages. “I come from a family of general store owners on both sides of my family. I always felt like this future was in the blood,” explains co-owner, Walter Manning. Together with partner Savannah Olsen, they opened the shop in May of 2010 after renovating a rundown, lofty space from the early 1900s – still with its original windows, 16-foot ceilings and brick walls. The products inside are just as timeless. This includes a rotating selection of kitchenware, homewares, specialty foods and personal accessories from the likes of Makr Carry Goods, Ebbets Field Flannels, and the Hudson’s Bay Company. “Both Savannah and I always felt that our business belonged in Gastown. It's the oldest part of Vancouver. If you feel like cleaning the slate both in life and in business, then going back to where it all began seems like the best way.”
