On Community Spotlight Monday profiled Giant Tiger’s Mike Marcil, who has announced that after sixteen years he’s leaving Arnprior for another GT franchise in Grand Falls New Brunswick.
At Town Council Monday (July 10th), elected representative paid him tribute by awarding a certificate of appreciation for all he’s done for the community.
Your Oldies reporter first encountered Mike Marcil in Northeastern Ontario in the 1980s when he managed a Kmart store in the Temiskaming Square.
Now, he’s seeking similar terrain down east.
Mike says like the Arnprior store, the Grand Falls franchise has been in the Giant Tiger family for quite some time.
Between now and month’s end, Mike Marcil will be saying a lot of farewells- perhaps to convince us it’s really true.
Farewell to Mike and Robin Marcil- you’ll be missed!
