22 22 Commercial Services CANEX Kit Shops: The intent: Retailing Kit Shop/Canteen merchandise in the CANEX stores will not only heighten awareness, increase visibility and accessibility to your products, but will also augment Kit Shops/Canteens’ regular sales. CANEX stores and (soon) on-line platform, with its retail and marketing expertise, will further support this initiative. For example, Retirees, Veterans and family members would have the opportunity to buy Kit Shop/Canteen merchandise at CANEX, where they would not otherwise have the ability to do so. Army EC: CANEX Operations have presented to 96 Kit Shops/Canteens across Canada to date and continue to enthusiastically pursue other Kit Shops/Canteens on their respective Base/Wing. We are actively tracking Kit Shop/Canteen sales and assisting our partners in procurement, supply and replenishment. Currently at the HQ level, we are in discussions with the Log and Dental Corp.

This project will provide a modern functional “retail and services” facility for the Petawawa Community. The new facility would be built to accommodate retail, grocery and concession services. Current Mall will continue to operate until new facility is completed. Construction is to Commence Apr 2015 and be completed summer 2016.
