Taken in 1946, this building is the third to hold the Co-op store in Merasheen and was built in 1941. At a board meeting in January 1941, the possibility of building a new store as well as the amount of material required to do so was discussed. It was decided to give each member a slip outlining the amount of sticks each was expected to give. The size of the building was to be 14x24. In February 1941, the site was chosen and at the next meeting in March, Mr. Austin Pomroy was appointed foreman to build the new store. It opened later that year.  The lady in the doorway is Helen Fleming, sister of Fr. John Fleming who married Pat Canning.  The couple is most likely a young John and Lizzie Ennis.
