It opened in 1859 in St. Johns, as Ayre & Steers, becoming Ayre & Sons in 1884. The company originally acted as importers but over the years the business expanded to include department, hardware, grocery and retail stores. In 1931 it opened its own commercial radio station. In 1959 the name was changed to Ayres Ltd. Since then it has expanded to incorporate a number of other companies and today operates approximately 50 stores and businesses across Canada.</div> <bR> <div>  </div> <bR> </td> </tr></table> <script type='text/javascript' src='https://count.carrierzone.com/app/count_server/count.js'></script> <script type='text/javascript'> </script>  </body>
