itcomputes/The Source by Circuit City

"I was asked recently why I chose to build a new Source by Circuit City franchise in Carnduff, Saskatchewan rather than opting for a larger community relatively close by. The answer was simple: Carnduff is a great place to be in business! The town council understands and is committed to working with new ventures to support them and help them prosper. The local financial community has a grasp of the unique features associated with doing business in rural Saskatchewan, and the residents in and around Carnduff believe in supporting their own and prospering together. I attribute a large part of the successes we have achieved to this combination of support vehicles found in Carnduff. Recognized as the top new dealer store for The Source by Circuit City across Canada in 2007 against many larger communities, I guess my response should be, "Why wouldn't I be in business in Carnduff?" ~ Brian G. Cowie ~ Owner/General Manager for "itcomputes" and The Source by Circuit City in Carnduff
