A pet food and farm feed store has found a permanent home in Lumby.

The Rusty Spur has made the move from its rented and original location of 19 years, to a purchased building at 1863 Shuswap Avenue with 6,500 square feet and expansive grounds. The new store, which includes the iconic horse statue outside, is now open.

“It’s going to make such a difference to the way we can expand the breadth and variety of our stock and serve our customers on a daily basis,” Stuart Anderson, who co-owns the store with his wife, Andrea Mann, said.

“For us, it’s our dedication to the communities of Lumby and surrounding areas to be investing in a permanent spot that allows us to expand how we help customers meet the health, safety and nutritional needs of their farm animals and pets,” Anderson added.

In both Lumby, Enderby and online, the Rusty Spur offers feed and supplements for all farm animals and pets as well as well as farm and veterinary supplies, and equine products.

“We’re fortunate to support an amazing community of farmers, hobby farmers and pet owners—a group that is growing,” Anderson said, noting a steady stream of new community members in Lumby, and surrounding areas, from places like the Lower Mainland and Alberta keen to enjoy their farms, hobby farms and their yards for livestock and pets.
