Bumper to Bumper - Vegreville Auto & Industrial Supply held their Grand Opening at their new location on October 31.

Owner Shawn Grykuliak explained, “We completed the acquisition in March 2023 and took possession officially on April 1 and we officially opened today.

We moved to this location because we had an opportunity to be able to put Full Throttle and Veg Auto all under one roof and this building fulfilled our needs. We wanted to be able to have a facility that could provide a better level of service for our customers.

We are grateful to everyone who was involved in making this happen.”
