We love getting to know the businesses that make our community what it is. Recently we stopped by Walper Tobacco Shop, which holds particular historical significance.

Walper Tobacco Shop is one of Kitchener’s founding businesses. It’s located in the heart of Downtown Kitchener at King St. and Queen St. You may know that the store first opened in 1981 (because it’s proudly displayed on the sign), but did you know that back then, Kitchener was still going by it’s former name, “Berlin”?

Over the years there have been many owners of the historical shop. Peter Cable, the current owner, took over the shop in 2010 from his father who previously owner the shop since 1970.

If you’re looking for cigars, pipes, or great gift ideas, you’re going to want to check out Walper Tabacco Shop.

Great Selection. Great Products. Great Service.
