Larry and Jackie Georget found a niche market in Leask and opened their Kool Kats Gas Bar and Confectionery Sept. 11 after extensive renovations were done to the interior of the building.
Combining the desire to change occupations with the opportunity to operate and manage their own business, the former Central Garage has re-opened as a new and improved business.
The 1950s style décor encourages a nostalgic visit from the black and white checker floor tiles and the chrome checker plate to retro neon signage.
The confectionery section offers the usual fare along with pre-ordered Vern's Pizza.
The new full service gas bar has two fuelling stations and offers gas and diesel as well as a full line of vehicle lubricants. The service bays will offer a full parts and service department in the near future. Larry will also extend his vehicle department to include sales of used cars, trucks, all terrain vehicles, motorcycles and snowmobiles. A show room permits a small selection of items to be on display where consignments are welcome.
The sporting retail division of the store offers a selection of fishing tackle and bait.
