Little Harry Candy Palace and Ice Cream Parlors was located on the south side of Mississaga Street, two doors east of Peter Street. The location at 73 Mississaga St. E. was a Liquor Store operated by Frank Gribbin before it became the Candy Palace.
Archie Carter purchased the store in 1907 and over the next few years developed his own recipe for ice cream. He changed the name of the business to Carter’s Candy Palace and by 1913 he expanded the business by leasing the adjoining premises, giving him a frontage of 23 feet.
Carter’s Restaurant later became one of the best known restaurants north of Toronto.
