In a remarkable journey from humble beginnings to a bustling enterprise, BG Sales is making waves in Manitoba, attracting customers from all corners of the province—from Minnedosa to Dauphin and Steinbach. This dedicated dealership is gaining traction not just for its quality pre-owned vehicles but also for its standout selection of Old Hickory buildings and sheds.

Owner Branson Grenier, who humorously describes his business as being situated "in the middle of nowhere," operates just north of the intersection of Highways 23 and 244, with the nearest town, Saint Leon, a mere five-minute drive away. However, despite its rural location, the dealership has earned a reputation that draws in locals and travelers alike.

“When I say ‘local,’ I don't just mean those living right down the street; I’m referring to everyone across Manitoba,” Grenier explains. “It’s incredible how many people trust us and support our business.”

When Grenier launched BG Sales, he had no idea how quickly it would blossom. What began as a passion project has transformed into a full-time venture, expanding from merely selling cars to incorporating high-quality buildings. This growth can be attributed to Grenier's deep-rooted love for vehicles, which began in his youth when he developed an uncanny ability to identify cars just by riding in them.

Reflecting on his path, he recalls attending Assiniboine Community College before deciding to blend his passion for cars with his family farm. “I started a small car dealership on the side,” Grenier reminisces. “Next thing I know, it turned into something much larger than I ever envisioned.”

Currently, BG Sales boasts a rotating inventory of 30 to 40 vehicles, primarily sourced from local dealerships but with a strong emphasis on buying from community members. Grenier prioritizes building trust with buyers, offering a three-month, 3,000 km powertrain warranty on all vehicles purchased. For customers looking for added peace of mind, warranty upgrades are available for an additional fee.

What sets BG Sales apart from traditional dealerships is Grenier's refreshing approach to sales. “We don’t use any high-pressure tactics,” he asserts. “If you like a car, that’s fantastic—it’s yours. But if it’s not for you, no pressure. We believe in letting the customer make the final decision on their own terms.”

To accommodate busy schedules, Grenier also offers flexible viewing hours by appointment, recognizing that many potential buyers may not be free during typical business hours.

Adding to his inventory are the versatile Old Hickory buildings, perfect for storage, garages, or even weekend retreats. Grenier connected with Old Hickory after learning they were seeking dealers in Manitoba. Now, he proudly offers structures ranging from cozy 8 x 8 sheds to spacious 16 x 40 cabins, all backed by impressive warranties—50 years on siding and 30 years on roofing, with the added benefit of termite-resistant materials and rust-proof tin roofs.

Delivery options extend throughout Manitoba, ensuring that no matter how far customers are from Saint Leon, they can still access these quality products.

From an initial garden shed on his parents' property to an established dealership serving a growing clientele, BG Sales is a testament to hard work and community trust—all from a location that some might call "the middle of nowhere." This inspiring tale illustrates how passion and dedication can pave the way for extraordinary success. So next time you're searching for a quality vehicle or a sturdy shed, remember: sometimes, the best finds are hidden away where you least expect them!
