Christmas shopping in Tisdale Part IV
|
|
FTLComm - Tisdale - Friday, December 6, 2002 |
Not all the things you will need to fill that shopping list will be things that are
pretty and meant to sit on shelves to be admired or played with but somethings will
need to be practical and work/play related.
Tisdale, like many other agricultural centres has its share of hard working stores.
We have already visited Lamb's Hardware, who has both the Beeland Co-op Hardware
store and Pro-Hardware to compete with for nuts and bolts. Co-op Hardware and Pro-Hardware
will be seen in another store as they are building supply companies. One of things
we all know about he hardware business is that there is considerable overlap in product
lines and the range of items that can be consumer or industrial.
Today we look at the industrial side with Groat's NAPA Centre and Acklands-Grainger.
These are not the only two Tisdale business serving this market as many parts can
be found at John Bob Farm Equipment and there are other farm and agriculture related
supplies, but for today we will see these two. |

This is a big outlet with about equal floor space devoted to display and parts but
it is definitely a place to consider when doing the "guy thing" shopping.

Like stepping into an unknown world exploring this supplier extended this reporters
awareness beyond the familiar.

Most of the plan ahead folks will be getting ready for a trip or two
into one of Saskatchewan's cities for their buying bing and a visit to Sam Walton's
place but before you do that take a look at what is available at home.
