The shop operated as a fruit shop with milk bar at the rear seven days per week till late to serve customers drinks etc after leaving picture shows on their way home. The shop was one of six shops in Penshurst all owned by Italian families. It was sold in 1976 by the Congiusta family as the partners were ageing and there were no sons to carry on the business. The shop remains today as a fruit shop operated by a Lebanese famly.
