High River's Peavey Mart is a couple weeks from opening its brand new location along 12 Avenue.

Store Manager Randy Doran says they're able to expand what they do with the bigger space in the new building.

"We're over-crowded here and we're getting more merchandise all the time and our yard was way too small and I want to be able to handle fence posts and things, so we need a lot more space," Doran says. "The new store's going to be built a little over double over the space of this (current) store and my yard's going to be much bigger, so I'll be able to handle fence posts and all the kinds of stuff I couldn't handle before."

He expects to hire six-to-ten more people once the store opens and may hire more if needed.

Doran says they've run into a couple of hiccups along the way so they won't be open as soon as they'd planned, but expects it'll be open in a couple weeks.
