Vernon’s Canadian Tire will reopen this month.
The business has been closed to in-store customers since a suspicious fire in the garden centre area Saturday, Nov. 19.
Vernon owner Jack D’Amico confirmed Feb. 10 as the re-opening date with some retroactive deals.
“Customers can shop in-store Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.,” said D’Amico. “Ship to home, in-store and curbside pickup is also available and our Auto Service Centre is open from Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Sundays).
“We are thrilled to welcome back the community of Vernon and thank our customers and employees for their unwavering support.”
Vernon Fire Rescue Service crews were called to the Village Green Shopping Centre just before 3 a.m. Nov. 19. Firefighters found a large fire outside the building within a locked compound. Crews knocked down the fire quickly before gaining access to the inside of the Canadian Tire building to confirm extension to the structure had been put out.
The blaze resulted in no injuries, but caused extensive damage to the exterior of the building and smoke damage inside.
The Vernon store rolled out online shopping on Jan. 23.
The auto service centre is open from Monday to Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. (closed Sundays).
