Utilities & Condition Notes:
The building is currently without power and natural gas. The floor tiles throughout the store are visibly chipped and broken in several areas. Ceiling panels show noticeable water staining, indicating potential roof issues. SAMA contains a note stating new shingles as of 2021, but this is not verified. The heating system is reported as forced hot air in the main portion of the structure, with no ventilation or cooling systems in the addition.

Exterior Features:
The building has a distinctive façade and a mural depicting a local historical scene is painted on the exterior of the rear addition. Side and rear access doors support deliveries or backroom access. The property also includes a commemorative plaque highlighting its continuous role in community life since 1956.

This property offers an affordable opportunity for revitalization as a community store, workshop, or alternative commercial use, pending municipal approvals. Its rich history and prominent location in the village provide strong community value and visibility.
