Murray Aulie, owner of Today's Enterprises Furniture & Electronics in Redvers, says he is, 鈥淗umbled and grateful to the people who came out to our grand opening.鈥�
鈥淚'm very grateful,鈥� he says of the Nov. 12 event. 鈥淲e had about 300 people come through our doors that day. I also owe my staff a big thank you as well as to the reps who came out that day.鈥�
鈥淲e had reps from Palliser and Ashley [furniture], Restwell mattresses, and The Source electronics. They were surprised at how many people came out for a community of our size.鈥�
鈥淭oday's Furniture & Electronics is almost a one-stop shop,鈥� says Aulie. 鈥淲e sell Palliser and Ashley furniture, mattresses and bedding, and we're a Sears outlet. We sell computers, printers, ink and toner. We're The Source store here, so we also sell a variety of electronics and accessories.鈥�
鈥淲e're a SaskTel dealer, so we carry a full line of smart phones-including iPhones, Sony, Samsung Galaxy, etc. and also high-speed internet products. We're a satellite sales and service dealer for Shaw and Bell. In addition, we also supply security cameras and security systems.鈥�
鈥淎nd if a customer wants to give a gift from our store, we also have gift certificates and greeting cards in stock,鈥� he adds.
Aulie and his business have both grown up in the Redvers area. 鈥淚 grew up north of Redvers, in Ryerson,鈥� he says. 鈥淭he business has grown, along with the community. Our first location was in the main floor of The Optimist building in 1996. In 2010, we moved to #5 Broadway, and in August, we moved to this location.鈥�
The day-long grand opening in Today's Enterprises' newest location had some customers arriving before the doors opened at 9 a.m. The approximately 300 people who came through the doors that day enjoyed coffee and doughnuts and the chance to win door prizes, including a Palliser chair and a diamond necklace.
鈥淚t's awesome,鈥� said Denis Martine of Redvers. 鈥淧eople walk into the store and they can't believe it. We sent someone here and they were so impressed with the selection. They don't have to go to Brandon or Minot to buy it. What's nice is that it's not only right here in town, but good, local people work here.鈥�
鈥淚'm so thankful for the support of the community,鈥� says Aulie. It was amazing that they came out to help me during the next step of my career.鈥�
Today's Enterprises Furniture & Electronics is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is located at #27 Railway Avenue, Redvers.
