Mulholland’s has a long and strong history, opening in the 1870’s. Originally opened as a dry goods store. The store was owned by current owner Tom Mulholland’s grandfather. In 1903 my grandfather added a small, cash-and-carry grocery business in one corner of the store, and this eventually took over the business. When my grand-father, Fred, retired, he sold the store to my father, Gordon, and Leland, (Corky) Hansen. Cork had been working here since the Korean War as the meat-cutter. Though Malvern had four grocery stores, over the decades Mulholland’s became the only surviving small grocer in the area. Cork and Gordon eventually spilt and Mulholland’s changed several hands before being bought by Brad and Marsha Williams. In 2008, I purchased it, and restored ownership to the original Mulholland name.
