The Brick Grand Re-Opening

The Grand Re-Opening of The Brick in Vegreville took place at its new location at 60 Street and 50 Avenue on Oct. 12.

The Brick has been serving the community for the past 15 years. This occasion offered free cake, cupcakes and draws for door prizes as well as great deals.

Store Manager Angela Garreck said, “We decided to move to this new location because it was a good opportunity to have more room to include more products for people to look at, as well as, more warehouse space and storage room in it.

The business in Vegreville so far has been great. We had a lot of community support from the surrounding areas as well. We developed good relationships with everyone and we have really good customers.”

When Garreck was asked what is unique about this store now, she replied, “There are a lot of Canadian products in here now. The Brick is focusing on trying to do more of this. Lots of the mattresses are made in Canada and most are made in Alberta, in the Edmonton area.”

When a customer, Fern VanDendolder was asked what she thought of the store, she answered, “It is beautiful. I like it better than the store at the previous location because it has more of a homey atmosphere.”
