Two new Aldergrove businesses opened in March 1970, so if you were curious as to which came first, Brian Findlay's car wash or his sports shop, the answer is the car wash.

The Aldergrove Paint Supplies store sat on Fraser Highway on the lot to the east of the Stoelting's building, where the online auction place is now (formerly the site of Steve's Lighting).
