Once COVID restrictions ease, I understand "Chicken Grades" will headline the all new Tinto Rocks Festival.

Thanks for the reminder! I saw it and meant to look up their menu. Some interesting items in there. 👍

$5M for a flooring company.

 

 

 

 

BUSINESS WITH COMMERCIAL PROPERTY through share sale. In the heart of Langford, along the busiest commercial corridor of Millstream Rd. between the Trans Canada Hwy and Bear Mountain, this iconic well established flooring business is proudly being offered. This going concern is well suited to either investor or owner/operator. The sale includes two commercial titled properties within the same building. The main and first title encompassing the first floor houses the retail operations, with the second floor and title used for the administrative offices. New owners can benefit from the surge and continuing construction throughout the Western Communities.

That’ll be two insurance offices at the complex. I imagine it’ll take over the Flight Centre space?

The old Flight Center space had a drywaller or painter working yesterday afternoon.

The other insurance company has been gone for about six months.

I used to purchase my ICBC portion of case insurance there. They consolidated into another location.

My private insurer (belair direct) stopped offering car insurance this year.

With agency fees dwindling, ICBC starting online renewals, etc, in hindsight neither of these are surprises.
