relaxing living areas and cozy bedrooms
to fully-equipped bathrooms and well-ap-
pointed kitchens, these abodes on wheels
symbolize freedom and fun.
In 2004, the RV business became a ma-
jor part of Gene and Susan Minard’s lives
when they opened Minard’s LeisureWorld
inWeyburn, Saskatchewan. Positioned be-
tween the capital city of Regina and the
U.S. border, the city had nothing to offer
RV customers and Susan saw both a need
and an opportunity. “People wanted to be
able to purchase RVs plus parts and acces-
sories,” she said.
Armed with a background in marketing,
Susan launched the business out of a
9,000-square-foot building sitting on six
acres of land and run by a staff of five. Just
“We have the largest selection inWesternCanada, which gives us buying power.”
