Why Vegreville?

With a population reaching 6,000, Vegreville is a vibrant “Fibre Connected” community rich in culture.

Vegreville has a strong retail base with a number of "anchor" retail stores, including Wal Mart, Canadian Tire, Mark's Work Wearhouse, Co-op, and No-Frills. These businesses draw customers from a trading area with a population of close to 30,000.

Located along Highway 16, the twinned TransCanada Yellowhead, Vegreville is an excellent choice to locate a commercial or retail business. As a major regional hub for the agricultural community, Vegreville serves the farming sector, with numerous implement dealers, bulk fuel stations, and input providers. Viterra and Grains Connect Canada have established Inland Grain Terminals next to Vegreville. 

Vegreville is also well known as an innovative community as it is home to the world's leading agricultural research centre - InnoTech Alberta. Vegreville is ideally positioned as an agricultural-based manufacturing/processing centre as InnoTech Alberta provides research support for companies to perfect their product for the marketplace.
