Victoria -- Murchie's will remain in B.C. hands.
A Victoria company has bought the tea and coffee vendor, which was founded 113 years ago in New Westminster, but recently fell on hard times and went into receivership.
John Simson, president of Belmont Management Ltd. and Grant Kuebler, managing director of Murchie's, say the company will be owned by a Victoria family.
All of the six Murchie's retail outlets, including five in Metro Vancouver and one in Victoria, will be maintained.
