Super A owners say Battlefords businesses becoming harder to run
It’s getting tougher and tougher to operate a small business in a small town.
The town of Battleford has seen its fair share of disappearing businesses throughout the town. Super A Foods became the latest business to close its doors Thursday.
Aaron and Charity Janzen, the owners of the grocery store, said there were underlying factors when it comes to why they had to close their business.
“Some of the economic conditions required to operate a vital business in Battleford ceased to exist,” Aaron said. “The decision to remove the post office was also a large factor. Another factor was the provincial government’s decision to remove the liquor store from the downtown business community, taking a lot of the traffic from the downtown core.”
