a isa What a difference ten months make, On a damp, dark day last March, Gerry Jonkheer stood in shock and looked at the smouldering ruins of his warehouse and offices at the intersection of Highway 7A and Queen Street in Port Perry. It was one of Port Perry's worst fires in recent memory. Last Friday after- noon, Mr. Jonkheer, his family and employees were proudly showing off the new warehouse and offices for Gerry's Produce and Distribut- ing at an official open- ing for guests and friends. The new brick build- ing, constructed on the same property boast some 19,000 square feet of warehouse and office space, and in fact was completed about two months ago at a cost of about $500,000. The building will serve as the distribution centre for the company which supplies goods and produce to over 800 convenience and variety stores across Ontario, and has a staff of about 40 employees. Mr. Jonkheers was on hand Friday afternoon to meet the steady stream of guests and show them around the brand new premises. They included several local politicians, con- tractors, customers and clients, and even a vice president from the Bank of Commerce. Mr. Jonkheers said the large warehouse will meet the company needs for the time being, but he indicated that future expansion may be needed as growth continues. HELPFUL HINTS Did you know?
