The Commercial Exchange Store, located on Main Street, was built in 1901.
It replaced a previous Parkers building erected in 1875.
The store was designed to offer for sale to the people of Cudal and district all the goods one would need from drapery to foods to tools.
In 1921 the store was purchased by Mr. E. W. Cordern and the name changed to "Cordern's Store".
The store operated until 1958.
The building then was used by the local Boree Shire Council until 2001.
At this point a group of local women took over the building and it has once again become the centre of Cudal retail, now known as the "Cabonne Food Wine and Cultural Centre".
 The centre includes a cafe, crafts, antiques, and a library.
There are also a number of displays on people and items from the town history.
Volunteers from the local community operate the store Friday - Sunday.
