toyotafiberglass - we are EXPANDING

time to share the GREAT news .
as some of you know , I have been looking for many years now for a new facility to expand my business too . I have searched everywhere in the Okanagan , but just to costly here , tired of being under the thumb of a landlord ! I started looking for a building to buy , looked at quite a few all over BC , but the "deal" just never worked for me . Finally found the right one in PG ..
so ..... It is a done deal , I now have the "keys in hand" and can now share with you . We are EXPANDING
Relocating home and business to my new building in Prince George , BC .

Congratulations on the expansion!

And now you own the building too! That must be a good feeling.

Feel free to post up some pictures of your new home!

large Canadian parts supplier has a trade show .. couple new hoists , radiant heaters , bunch of small tools and chemicals .. I'm not even sure this shop is big enough !!

I'm hoping my son will be moving back home and look after all the "social networking" we are about to pollute the Toyota community with some VERY COOL stuff !
My dad has already agreed to do be my videographer , so lots of youtube stuff coming .
