Because Ainsworth was a small mining town, in the interior of British Columbia, the Fletcher Store supplied everything needed to live in the area. Some of these items include dried fruit, coffee, cloth, and coal. Most often the supplies were sold in large quantities, in order to be brought to the mines. For example, a hundred pound case of milk would be one purchase and would be brought to the mines via railway cars.

Today, the Fletcher Store is now a general store museum. Many of their objects date back to the early 1900's, such as a coffee grinder and a cash register.
