ASSINIBOIA — Jay Patel, spokesperson for the under-construction Petro-Can C-Store tells the Assiniboia Times, “Construction is going well. We have our grade beam in already and we are hoping to start framing the building next week.”
Petroleum installation should be completed by the end of October.
“If weather permits, we will also be paving our lot this month. C-Store and Fueling should be ready for February, March 2024. Dairy Queen, which will be part of the new business, will open later in spring, hoping for a late April or early May start,” adds Patel.
Closer to opening, the business will be recruiting for staff. Patel notes that management will be provided by existing employees from other locations moving to Assiniboia permanently. Once employees are in place and business is in operation, they plan to celebrate with a grand opening.
Patel says that apart from minor delays for lead times for equipment, there were no challenges experienced. Their hopes are for the weather to remain co-operative to continue the smooth timeline for construction completion.
