The
Meat Specialists!
|
The Present day Gour-Mart was established
in 1961 by Beno Pflantz, which at that
time was known as Bowness Sausage, in the corner
mall, on 77th Street and Bowness Road N.W. Bowness, Alberta.
|
With a vision for the future and the wish
to carry on the family tradition, The late Fred Capune purchased the Gour-Mart in
April of 1968. Fred was born in Berlin, Germany and was the 3rd
generation of meat/sausage shopkeepers, trained by his father. He came to Canada at the age of
18, eventually married and later had four children before purchasing the
Gour-Mart.
|
The Gour-Mart name came into existence when Fred's vision was
to focus on the "Gourmet" aspect of the meat cutting/sausage
business and the availability in the market. He abbreviated both
"Gourmet" and "Market" to form "Gour-Mart
Ltd.".
|
Fred's only son Darrell, was born in May of 1963 and in the
family tradition, started working in the family business in the 7th
grade. In 1985, Darrell started running operations with his father, and in
1995 Fred retired and Darrell continued the family business. Currently
Darrell runs the family business and is a meat cutting/sausage instructor at
S.A.I.T. (Southern Alberta Institute of Technology).
