Planned expansion of the Peavey Mart location in Vegreville was discussed during town council’s March 24 legislative committee meeting.

In a Request For Council Decision, (RFCD), Infrastructure, Planning & Development Director Dale Lefebvre stated, “Peavey Mart conducted inspections of their stores across Central Alberta and indicated that Vegreville’s store required more room.

Peavey Mart will be constructing a 9,720 square foot expansion, esthetic improvements inside and outside of the existing space as well as complete asphalt of the parking lot, garden area, and storage yard.

Since they are building out the entire footprint of their property, they require space for a laydown yard for their materials and equipment.”

Lefebvre said there would be no financial implications to the town, but they would have to enter into an agreement with Peavey Mart that would require the company to ensure the area they will be utilizing for the laydown yard be in the same or better condition at the end of its usage.

The actual area of the temporary road closure of 53 A Street is from 50 Avenue to 51 Avenue for the duration of their 2021 construction season.

According to Peavey Mart’s website, it is 100 percent Canadian owned. “Peavey Mart is one of three banners under the Peavey Industries LP umbrella. Together, Peavey Mart, MainStreet Hardware and TSC Stores combine into Canada’s Largest Farm and Ranch Retailer, a distinction we are very proud of.

We have 40 stores across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba ranging in size from 10,000 to 40,000 square feet. The Peavey Industries LP home office is located in Red Deer, Alberta and includes 180,000 square feet of distribution centre space.”
