Lansings opening a yard and garden shop at old Tires Plus site

Griff Wigley posted on Apr 30 2008 at 06:57

When I drove back into town last night, Robbie alerted me to the plant racks and greenhouse going up at the old Tires Plus site. I drove by this morning and took a photo, and then saw the article in today’s Nfld News that Lee and David Lansing are opening a yard and garden shop at that location.

Ross has an NDDC blog post up about a Lansing Hardware goodbye wingding tonight.
