Undeterred, the budding entrepreneur went on to found the well-known Ritchies general Store in Frankston. This is the story of Ritchies, of the inspirational men and women who took the baton from Thomas Ritchie, and developed Ritchies into the flourishing and community-based enterprise it is today."
