An Indigenous-owned gas station off Highway 3 is now open, replacing Petro-Canada in East Osoyoos.

On Monday, a representative of Gen7 Fuel said they are thrilled to make it to the border town, and that the station will be holding a grand opening event on Wednesday.

The celebrations will be held at all three Gen7 Fuel locations in Osoyoos, Oliver, and Penticton.

Grand opening details for April 23:

• 9:30 a.m.: Oliver location – 1 McKinney Road
• 10:45 a.m.: Osoyoos station – 6201 45 Street
• 12:20 p.m.: Penticton location – 101 Green Mountain Road

“Gen7 Fuel is proudly Indigenous-owned and focused on supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs across First Nation communities,” said Gen7 Fuel on social media.

The business will feature a convenience store, a selection of tax-free convenience items, and a rewards program.

“Join us for a day of joy, healing, and celebration. We have amazing speakers, performances, and deals you won’t want to miss.”
