After nearly a year of vacancy, the former Canadian Tire building along the South Service Road will soon be home to a new tenant.

     Shoppers Drug Mart is expected to open in the location at the end of October, following renovation of the building.

     Swift Current's Director of Business Development, Marty Salberg was pleased to see interest in the building.  He says the realtors had tremendous interest right from day one, so there was no concern of it getting filled.

     The 14,000 square foot facility will hold a number of features, including an expanded pharmacy, while also supplying a number of goods and supplies.

     The building's opening date is expected to take place near the end of October.
