After months of hard work and a true team effort, UFA is celebrating the Grand Re-opening of its Stettler UFA Farm & Ranch Supply store on Thursday, April 27. Stettler is known as the “Heart of Alberta”, and UFA has been at the heart of Stettler, serving the community for over 88 years.
UFA invites you to celebrate with its team at the Stettler UFA Farm & Ranch Supply Store Grand Re-opening event. There will be special guests in attendance, including the Town of Stettler Mayor, Sean Nolls, and UFA Delegate, Guy Neitz. Other notable guests include Mark Higgins, President of the Board, Stettler & District Foodbank Society and Glenn Bingley, Vice President AgriBusiness & Supply Chain, UFA.
The first 500 people in attendance with a donation to the Stettler & District Foodbank Society receive a complimentary lunch following the speaking program. UFA also has a robust Community Investment program and a special donation announcement will also be made during the event.
The speaking agenda is as follows:
- 11:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. - Grand Re-opening speaking program and donation announcement
- 11:30 a.m. - Media photo opportunity and availability
- 11:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. - Lunch with prizes, games, and vendor demos
We are pleased to share that we will also have vendor partners in attendance including Carhartt, Dynaline, Richelieu, DeWalt, Spypoint and Westform, and they are holding demos throughout the day. And our friends at Real Country 93.3 will also be broadcasting live from the event from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
The enhancements at the Farm & Ranch Supply store include the following:
- A new drive-thru, giving customers the convenience of remaining in their vehicles when purchasing yard items.
- Wider shopping aisles and upgraded LED lighting, offering a more comfortable atmosphere.
- A new building supplies area, giving customers the opportunity to visually see products, like doors and windows, right inside the store.
- A new service desk near the entrance, encouraging better engagement and conversation between customers and UFA team members and a new project desk to allow for consultations for homebuilders and homeowners looking to undertake DIY projects.
- A 1,000-square foot expansion of the sales floor, space acquired from the removal of offices.
Projects like these are made successful thanks to the dedication and hard work of many people. The Stettler UFA Farm and Ranch Supply store remodel is no exception. We are grateful for all the team members involved in making this dream a reality. We also extend our thanks to the Town of Stettler and to local contractors who have been excellent to work with."
Glenn Bingley, Vice President AgriBusiness & Supply Chain, UFA
The Stettler UFA Farm & Ranch Supply store remodel is another great example of how the co-operative re-invests in the communities where its members live and work.
We hope you join us to celebrate the Grand Re-opening of the Stettler UFA Farm & Ranch Supply store!
