Grand opening for automotive shop supporting BGC Battlefords
Oil Can Charlie’s is looking to make the delay for the grand opening of the new Battleford location worth it.
The automotive shop, which officially opened in early January, will have a live location broadcast on Friday with the Rock Machine and Free Ride on hand. Draws and discounts will be available for customers from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Dignitaries attending include chamber of commerce members and Mayor Ames Leslie with the Town of Battleford. Several draws will be there, including a Co-op gas card, Co-op grocery card and a pair of tickets to the Lumineers in August. Owner Jay Bottomley said they will also have discounts on oil changes.
In opening this location this year, there have been some challenges, which are shared by many businesses in the region, said Jay Bottomley, founder and owner of Oil Can Charlie’s. They’re affected, like many, by the costs of fuel and products, he said, but he’s fortunate to have had support from the region so far.
