Blanshard CDC Announces Exciting New Development Opportunity for Oak River

Oak River, MB – The Blanshard Community Development Corporation (CDC) is pleased to announce the successful negotiation for transfer of ownership of the Valleyview Co-op location situated in Oak River. This significant milestone marks a new chapter for the community and lays the groundwork for future projects.

CDC representative Mark Humphries, CAO from the RM of Oakview expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition, stating, “The successful transfer will be a significant investment for the local CDC. This, hopefully, will lead to the economic development of a convenience store and coffee outlet in town.”

Despite Co-op’s reluctance to keep a presence in Oak River the CDC believes that an enthusiastic family run business will thrive in this friendly rural community.

Looking ahead, the Blanshard CDC is committed to invigorating the Oak River community by seeking a local entrepreneur to establish a small coffee shop with a convenience store located within the newly acquired space. Blanshard CDC, supported by the RM Council of Oakview, plans to offer an attractive two-year lease, providing vital support for the new business to become established and thrive in the heart of Oak River.

All interested parties are encouraged to reach out for more information or to express interest in this exciting opportunity. Please contact the CDC through the RM office at:
