Edmonton, Alberta — January 10, 2018 — After 19 years hidden behind car dealerships on Stony Creek Road, the crew at Edmonton-based refinisher Western Paint & Equipment will be moseying on over to a new building later this month.

“We are all very excited,” says manager Gerard Gannon. “We had outgrown the old place, so it is a relief to be moving somewhere with three times as much space.”

Not only will the 1000 square-metre building mean more room for the eleven crew members, but it will also be home to a new training centre for the team. Far more visible from the road, Gannon also hopes the new location will bring in new business.

“Most of our work is distance business, a lot from the north of the province, but I am hoping that being seen by the people of Edmonton will change that,” says Gannon.

A PPG Refinish partner for most of its existence, Western Paint & Equipment was founded in 1963, moving to its Stony Creek Road location in 1999. Its new building, 15912, 116 Avenue, will open for business on January 29.
