Potential interest in leasing or buying the Peavey Mart Building in High Prairie has not led to anything significant, says its owner.
Martin Blair, managing director, First Aberdeen Property Ltd., which owns the East Gate property in High Prairie, says there is no updates since Peavey Mart closed March 26.
“We’re proceeding to list the site for lease or sale,” says Blair.
“Hopefully, we’ll get some interest.”
Signs indicating for lease or sale may be erected on site by publication.
In April, Blair said he did receive some calls and added he was looking forward to seeing something happen. But no such luck.
“There is a lot of uncertainty in the market in Canada,” he added in a May 15 interview.
Peavey Mart celebrated its grand opening in High Prairie Oct. 21, 2016. The company officially announced in late January they were closing its stores across Canada. Liquidation signs quicky went up and the store attempted to sell its remaining stock before closing March 26.
On another note, a post on social media informed the High Prairie public that Dollarama will be opening in the next week or so.
