Citing a need for more space, Prairie Automotive and Industrial Supply will move into the former Crazy Horse Salon nightclub. “It was so congested (in the current store at 5104 50 St.), and we are considering expanding into other product lines,” says owner Wade Zahacy. His wife, Michelle, runs Prairie Automotive with him. Zahacys bought the Crazy Horse building in October 2007 and started renovating the building Jan. 9. They hope to be in their new location by May, with a grand opening tentatively scheduled for September. The Crazy Horse building has 11,000 square feet, of which 8,000 feet will be used for their business. Tenants still occupy rooms on the east side of the building, but they will be gone by the fall of 2008. The new owners plan to renovate and rent the space as retail or office space. Wade Zahacy says the new location is strategic. He expects a lot of commercial transports and recreational vehicles will stop at the convenient location just off Highway 2. They will make up a large part of his clientele. Prairie Automotive and Industrial Supply has been in business since 1972. Wade and Michelle bought the business from Michelle’s father, Bob Paquette, in 1997. The company has a NAPA Auto Parts franchise and also sells and services Husqvarna and Stihl power products. The company is also considering expanding into Dickie’s Clothing products, which include overalls and cargo pants.
