Steinbach’s agricultural retail sector will expand next year with the construction of a Peavey Mart store along Highway 52 West.

Peavey Mart will open a 30,000-square-foot store and greenhouse in the spring of 2024, the company announced recently.

“It’s a perfect market for us,” said Jeff Crump, Peavey Mart’s senior vice-president of store operations. “We thrive in small agricultural markets.”

Peavey Mart is a Canadian- owned farm and ranch retailer that operates 97 stores across Canada, including two in Winnipeg and one in Brandon.

Peavey Marts offer a unique selection of agriculture, farm and ranch, pet, work wear, lawn and garden, hardware and homesteading supplies for those who enjoy a downto-earth rural lifestyle.

Crump said the Steinbach store is part of a larger plan to expand the company’s presence in the Prairie Provinces.

He said Peavey Mart is different from big-box home improvement stores like Home ing our producers,” said Verwey.

KAP promotes the interest of Manitoba producers through advocacy, collaboration, communications and education. This includes meetings with provincial and federal decision-makers, participation in consultations, working groups with partners, and providing communications material and awareness campaigns.

“I think a lot of producers feel that it’s out of their reach regarding the impact they can have. That seems to be the mentality of the general public,” said Verwey. “I think we have to change how we engage producers. We have to go where they live and attend their meetings rather than expecting people to come out to an advisory council meeting.”

“Everything has its place, but I think we have to look at every opportunity to engage,” said the new KAP president.

Depot, Rona, and Lowe’s.

“It’s really a retailer focused on our farm and ranch customers,” he said.

The Steinbach store will carry animal care and feed products, farm equipment, agricultural and automotive products, hand and power tools, house wares, lawn and garden items, and western work apparel and footwear.

Peavey Mart was founded as National Farmway in 1967. After a decade as a subsidiary of a US company, it returned to Canadian ownership in 1984.
