Keremeos’ newest feed store is now open.
The Keremeos Feedway opened on Wednesday, March 3 in the storefront where Dan’s Auto used to be on Veterans Ave.
Penticton Feedway owner Johnny Aantjes decided to expand into Keremeos and Oliver after seeing so many customers come into Penticton from communities further south, he said.
“Feed is our primary seller. We are able to keep the prices down for feed. We have been running the Penticton Feedway for two years now and we really focus on having lots of product, really good customer service and good hours. We want to keep that momentum going in our Keremeos and Oliver stores.”
One of the big focuses at both the Oliver and soon-to-open Keremeos locations will be on laying hens and chicks.
“We will be selling chicks in spring. That really works well with our store,” he added.
Aantjes decided to fill the void in Keremeos that Growers Supply Co. left when they closed that location in late November 2020.
Since Growers closed its Keremeos location, farmers have been forced to make the long drive to Penticton or Oliver to get their supplies.
The Feedway currently offers bagged pellets, pet and livestock feed, chicks and farm fresh eggs, with the plan to expand what is available down the road.
The Feedway is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 to 2 p.m. on Saturdays.
