New owner at D&G computers
Darryl Oram is the new owner of D&G Computers. He is incorporating his business, Thompson Okanagan Consulting Group (which was in the industrial park) with D&G at #103 – 650 Trans Canada Highway.
“We’ve been growing and we decided the time was right to buy into another business and increase our offerings a little further,” says Darryl.
His consulting company services commercial businesses all over North America but the majority of his customers are in Salmon Arm, Vernon, and Revelstoke. Now, in keeping with D&G tradition, he will also service residential and small businesses as well. Ryan Lynn, who has been with D&G for many years, will be staying on as manager.
“We look forward to serving the community and we look forward to growing the business and being here for a long time to come.”
More flavours and healthy options
The Shack Ice Cream Shoppe, located just before Marine Park, has some new flavours and healthy snack options says owner Tara Andrus.
The new flavors include cinnamon twist, shark attack, tropical snap soda, creme brulee, and chocolate cheese cake. There are also sorbets for people who can’t have dairy.
“We have a new selection of salads and sandwiches from Urban Market. They make them for us every morning,” says Tara. “And we now have espresso coffee drinks and smoothies made of 100 per cent fruit and veggies.”
The Shack is open at 11 a.m. every day except Monday. Starting May 22 they will be open seven days a week.
