In 1929, a new corner store opened it's doors in Calgary, Alberta. It was the primary grocery store in the region and a critical piece of the development of the Ramsay Community. It was then purchased by the Kim family in 1960, who have been its proprietors ever since. They have survived through the creation of the supermarket, the revolution of corporate chain convenience stores. They have survived so long because of their community, and in turn they have provided a meeting place and common space for a wide range of people to interact and buy their necessities. However, Mrs. Kim is now in her eighties with failing health and the economics of the store don't provide a future for her children to step into. More Than Convenience explores the impact one family can make on a community.
