It was the first Canadian discount department store, and is the oldest surviving retailer in Gastown as well as one of the few remaining department stores in downtown Vancouver. Since 1948, the department store has been located in the Dunn-Miller Block, a heritage building with significance to the development of Gastown. The Army and Navy company and the building it occupies have historical and cultural significance to the Downtown Eastside and the store continues to be a hub for the diverse community."
