Neepawa business building for the future Harris

By Ken Waddell Neepawa Banner & Press

One of Neepawa’s long standing businesses is on the move but not very far. Harris Pharmacy is planning to move just down Mountain Avenue into a new, yet to be built building. The new location will be south of the Salvation Army store which, is located in the former Co-op store.

Harris Pharmacy owner and head pharmacist, Heather Todoruk said, “We would like to get into a one level new space.” The current building is actually two buildings and at one time was occupied by three businesses. The south portion was a Stedman’s store, the central part has been Harris Pharmacy for decades and the north part was Wally’s Jewellers in years gone by. Plans are being drawn up for the new facility and construction will hopefully be started by spring time. Once the pharmacy moves, the current building will be put up for sale.

Harris Pharmacy is now the third notable locally owned and operated business to move ahead with the construction of a new home within the last year. Home Hardware and Whitey’s Fitness Body Shop are the others that are progressing on new venues within the community.
