Branch Manager Sheldon Johnston, along with his friendly staff, were on hand for the event which featured a barbecue lunch. Approximately 80 people attended the open house. Johnston said it’s a great opportunity to say thank you to customers. The agricultural dealership is one of 36 across Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. During the pandemic, Johnston said they “stayed open and in front of customers” to continue to provide support. RME’s base consists of 300 to 400 customers. “The majority of our customers are from the County of Minburn,”

Johnston said, “We have two sales reps who are on the road daily.” The company also has three mobile service trucks to assist customers.
