Future Shop Grand Opening
On December 11, Future Shop marked the grand opening of its newest store in New Minas with door crasher deals and giveaways and by showing its support for local youth through the Campaign For Kids foundation.
Just before the doors opened to the hundreds of people lined up outside in the bone-chilling temperatures, Sheldon Penman, Future Shop General Manager, presented Campaign For Kids representatives Anne Marsters and Laurie Wanamaker with a $2,500 donation to the foundation’s educational support fund.
