Established in 1926, AF Joy has proudly served the Wareham community for nearly 100 years. Founded by Albert Fowler Joy at 35 North Street, the business was built on quality, integrity, and personal service — principles that continue to define us today.

On 1st April 2026, we celebrate 100 years of trading, marking a remarkable milestone as one of Wareham's longest-established independent retailers.
