Congratulations to the Eatson Family. After 40 years in business they just opened their new Volkswagen Dealership at 500 Towerhill Road, just off of Chemong Road, across from Portage Place. Bigger and better doesn't quite capture it. It's a brand new state-of-the-art building, built using local trades.
