History
Bob Adams met his Australian wife, Sue, in 1967 while he was working in social work and she as an occupational therapist. They purchased The Grocery Store in Whistler Village in 1988. They sold the business to one of their long-time employees, Mike Groot, in 2016. They also opened the Upper Village Market, Pemberton Valley Supermarket, and later Delish Cafe and Catering in Function Junction. Bob and Sue won Business Person of the Year for their small business efforts. Bob has been president and director of the Whistler Chamber of Commerce, chair and director of Community Futures, co-chair of the Leadership Sea to Sky program, director and life member of the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers, and a fixture at almost every public meeting held to discuss the future of some aspect of Whistler.
