THANKS for stopping by, I do my best to acknowledge when someone leaves a comment,you do not have to be a member here & everyone is welcome. Ps: This site is monitored but not actively posting on a regular basis. Mostly these are stories & some photos saved from a defunct site known as Verdun Connections which was on MSN Groups initially then on a social network called Multiply.
I will also add these two shots to the Steinberg's storefront photo's in one of my albums ,................. HF&RV
ps: was it green stamps or was it gold stamps ??? I'll try to find a photo of them ,unless one of you out there have a pic to share ?
so it was Pinky Stamps, and other stores had stamps too one was called S&H Green Stamps :

Miracle Mart was a store all on its own. They used the money shown above. There was a Miracle Mart store in Ville Lasalle. They were sort of the forerunner of Woolco.
Consumers Distribution started up and they used to take pinky stamps, so you would go there instead of to Steinberg's with them. I think Dominion gave green stamps, but I'm not sure.
Hi , yup I Remember Miraclle Mart,but how about the very short lived Mon-Mart which was on Shevchenko & Laverendrye (frontage Laverendrye) That place sat empty for years & then used, as a storage type building,I'm not sure if anything is there these days ? I posted a photo on the old MSN site a long time ago of a friend of mine doing a 'Burnout' in his '67 Camaro in that parking lot,it was pretty much an abandoned lot........ thanks for the input,............HF&RV
Also in the Miracle MArt mall at the far end (away from Bishop Power) was a little restaurant/bar called the St Tropaz,where I think it was Anne Rourke-Frew was a barmaid (or was it brenda???) Anyway regardless of who was dishing out the 'wobbly pops' I did have a few in there....also there was another shopping mall across from the Miracle Mart further into Lasalle called the Cavalier de Lasalle ( they had a bar too,or so it's been said. lol)
So Les u know all the bars I see...hahahaha man I forgot about The St.Tropaz..
Great photo of Dave and his Camaro....
Now do you remember who the big star was who helped open the Mon Mart?
Big?? A clue and if u get it u will know...
Can't say that I do remember who it was. Was it le gros bill ,.or any other Hab ?
....and yes I can remember a few watering holes around town.......lol
Les
Jane Mansfield....
Remember when Steinberg's had the horse racing forms....no matter if u had all of them u always missed the winning one..always....made u wonder...
I didn't know that,......and yes 'Big' is an appropriate clue........hahahahaha Her daughter is a good actress ,she's on a show called 'law & order' ??
I remember the "Pinky Stamps" used to put them into a book for Gifts on redemption. Steinbergs miricle mart was an association that I forgot about...until now. I don't remember the Miricle Mart Money, but I guess I was just closer to the Dominion Store on Third Ave & Wellington. Yes Mon Mart was short lived and was soon after the Towers Store near Shevshenko (sp?)
Ah yes the "Pinky Stamps"
I don't remember the Steinberg "bucks" but now I recall the Steinbergs Miracle Mart affiliation. Thanks for the memory
