A new liquor store and pet shop is coming to Humboldt.

Sobeys Liquor and PetValu are coming to Quill Centre on the west end of Humboldt. Martin Blair, West Humboldt Developments’ president, said the development was exciting.

“We’re hoping to have our stores open by Christmas, so that’s the goal we’re working with now,” he said.

The Sobeys Liquor store will be 5,500 square feet, while the PetValu is 3,750 square feet.

Blair said he’s been working on the project with Sobeys and PetValu since the beginning of the year.

“Basically this was tenant-driven,” he said. “They have their own process that they go through relative to choosing markets they want to be in. Both those tenants felt that arriving in Humboldt was a good thing and that the market was there for them.”

Also included with the project is a new access point to the shopping centre on its west side

“With this project, we’re opening up the access into Highway #5, so circulation on the site and movement’s is going to be significantly better and more,” Blair said. “That’s part of the project we’ve included with this work.”

The new access will hit the highway near where the Canalta hotel is.
