Edmonton?s now infamous tornado took only a few minutes to decimate the building that housed the Friedenbergs? dreams for so many years.

A new building was built and the growth began ? the next years saw the addition of new lines, a move to new premises, significant expansion of the parts and accessories line, etc...
