Prairie-wide equipment dealer eyes Man. site

Published: October 21, 2009

A Case IH dealer in southern Manitoba is expected to be the latest buy for a publicly-traded, prairie-wide, Calgary-based stable of equipment dealerships.

Rocky Mountain Dealerships said Tuesday it has signed a purchase and sale agreement to buy Enns Agri Sales Ltd. at Winkler, Man., about 110 km southwest of Winnipeg, for an undisclosed sum.

The sale is expected to close on or about Nov. 1, Rocky Mountain said in a release Tuesday.

The Winkler location would bring Rocky Mountain’s Manitoba operations to six shops, the company said. It would also represent the 11th location added to Rocky Mountain since its initial public offering (IPO) in December 2007.
