The Stoughton Co-op hosted a Grand Opening on Wednesday, Oct. 11, with a BBQ and ribbon cutting.
Deric Reaney – General Manager – explained that there’s been a lot of work put into the C-Store and Card Lock: “We are celebrating the expansion of the Card Lock today, our C-Store, and all of the paving that was done.”
“Over the past few years we’ve been building up to this and it’s been a great opportunity for us. We’re excited to be able to do this for this community and for the surrounding area.”
Reaney went on to say, “We’ve received nothing but compliments. While we were putting everything in people were watching and excited, and once it was all opened up we’ve received a stream of positive comments and compliments.”
The Grand Opening BBQ was a fundraiser for the Stoughton Legion.
“It’s the only large hall in town now and it’s important to support it,” Reaney stated.
This is the second fundraiser that Stoughton Co-op participated in to raise funds for the Stoughton Legion. Last month they participated in Co-op’s Fuel Good Day and donated 5 cents/litre of fuel sold to the Stoughton Legion for a total of $375 from the day.
