It's almost like Barry's Bay is joining the rest of the world. This summer we have 2 new gas stations (an Ultramar and a Shell) which has been great for us, because we now have the lowest prices for gas in the area. THAT is a treat. The gasoline alley has moved to Barry's Bay, Bancroft's loss. There has been a lot of real estate turnover, so likely there will be new enterprises next summer.
Maybe they'll get a Burger King too?
Update: Timmy's is supposed to open October 5, staff have been hired, uniformed, and sent for training in Bancroft. It's going to be a 24 hour location.
