On Granite Avenue a vacant store is now occupied and doing business. Almost over night and it would seem to be had coördinated with the upgrade of sidewalks and beatification of the 2000 block at on Granite and Garcia. A wholesale retail supplier of discount blue jeans is running cash registers and moving stock brought in with plastic cargo tubs .   There are about four employees  at work and a business card available from a supervisor.

Maud Soderholm is the regional manager for the store and was on hand yesterday in the store.

Warehouseone has a number of outlets across Canada and their presence here is sudden and hardly announced to the benefit of the consumer, in Merritt.

The building was the former site of 2 Sands stores one before and one after reorganization several years ago. It was last used to sell motorcycle fashion wear during the Great Canadian Bike Rally last summer. That event lasted  a few days.
