Bazaar Canton
Bazaar Canton was an Asian food and gift store founded by Stanley Gee in Livermore, California (USA). Bazaar Canton operated from 1971 to 1988 and was the first Asian food and retail store in the Livermore-Amador Valley. It provided an introduction to Asian culture for many residents in the Tri-Valley area.〔(''Obituary: Stanley Gee'' ), The Independent, May 26, 2011. Retrieved 26 April 2014〕
==History==
Bazaar Canton was opened by Livermore resident, Amy Gee, a native of Shanghai, China and an accomplished Chinese watercolor artist. Family friends would have Chinese food for dinner at the Gee residence and ask Ms. Gee and her husband, Stanley Gee, a native of Canton, China and a mechanical design draftsman since 1956 at what is now called the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,〔(''Stanley Gee, East Bay engineering designer, dies'' ), San Francisco Chronicle, June 2, 2011. Retrieved 26 April 2014.〕 to purchase Chinese groceries from San Francisco and Oakland chinatowns for their own meals.
Eventually, the Gees decided to open a small Chinese grocery store called Bazaar Canton in a small Livermore shopping center at the east end of Second Street known as The Mall. When Bazaar Canton opened on April 1, 1971, Livermore had very few Asian residents and only two small Chinese American restaurants, the Yin Yin and Maly's.
Canton Bazaar was originally considered for the name of the business but rejected because a San Francisco Chinatown store catering to tourists already had the name. An owner of the Way Up Gallery, a neighboring art gallery, suggested reversing the name, and the new business had its name.
