Waters and Son’ in 1927 when his eldest son John became a partner, later becoming ‘W. Waters and Sons’ when his second son William also joined the family business. In 1905 he opened his store at 313 Crown Street Wollongong and diversified into hardware and homeware. In the late 1980s the Crown Street store closed and the business relocated to the corner of Stewart and Corrimal Streets Wollongong, where it operated until June 2000. A Waters family store also operated at Shellharbour between 1993 and 2002.
