The site of this store was near the present corner of Grand Junction Road, Grand Junction and Valley Roads. Holden is credited with naming the area "''Hope Valley''" after returning home in 1842 to find that his house and business had burnt down in a Bushfires in Australia, bushfire, but rather than becoming despondent, he felt optimistic.
