Sicamous has seen a number of changes on the business front.
Dave and Shirley Gross have been hopping busy since moving their restaurant, Grandma’s and Grandpa’s, into the site of the former Eagle Pass Landing building near the Shell station on Eagle Pass Way.
Meanwhile, Century 21 is having their grand opening today, July 1, at their new location at the end of Main Street at the site of the former RoundAbout Cafe.
The gifts end of things has expanded at Happy Corker’s Wine & Gifts, under new owner Victoria Cameron, with summer dresses, hats and assorted giftware. Cameron worked at Happy Corkers for three years before taking over the business on May 1. She said she was looking for a new venture and, having made her own wine for years and years, the business was a good fit. The storefront also provided an opportunity to integrate her gift basket business.
Full Speed Rentals & Marina is also under new ownership. Bertram Berzins and Moe Collins are partners in the venture. A B.C. boy living in Alberta, Berzins said he, and Collins, were looking for something to bring them back and allow them to get “plugged in to the community.”
Berzins said their focus is more about the experience, making sure it’s amazing for everyone. He plans to do some promotional work with seniors groups.
He said the business has undergone a lot of renovations and has been made more accessible.
Berzins and Collins welcome feedback, keen to hear what services people would like to see, or of ways things might be done better.
