: Business - Iga Store And Credit Union; Youngs IGA Foodliner and Innisfil Farmers Credit Union shortly after construction in 1959. These were the first two units in the Stroud Plaza and were constructed by William Young to accomodate the Young's grocery business and the Credit Union, both of which had outgrown their existing premises.Since neither the Youngs nor the Credit Union had sufficient cash or credit facilities to finance the project, innovative financing was required. A company was incorporated with William Young as president, George Young as vice president and John Young as secretary-treasurer. Preferred, redeemable shares were sold to people in the community; farmers, retired persons and others. The plaza was built and the space leased to the Youngs and the Credit Union. As time went by and the businesses prospered these shares were redeemed by the company. The preferred shareholders all got their money back as well as receiving a good annual return on their investments. In 1973 more units were added; a drug store, liquor store, law office, medical office and convenience store. Later a post office, restaurant, ceramics store and chiropractor were added. In 2003 the plaza was sold to a group of doctors and a walk-in clinic, another dentist, an eye doctor, and a physiotherapist were established. This plaza was the first shopping centre in Innisfil as well as being the home of Innisfil's first drug store, first grocery self-serve supermarket, first liquor and wine store, first video rental store, first chiropractors office, first purpose built medical offices, first purpose built post office and first purpose built law office Businesses - store Young's IGA - Stroud Credit Union - Innisfil, IHS4133
