If endorsed by couricil, the changes will allow Invar te build smallor units in addition te one' simnilar in size te the defunct Prico Club proposai. 'Mis lbaves us the floxtibility cf tryi ng to, put in a Price Club use if w. can ýfind one, but aise variable types cf uses » explained Invar representative âal Crimni. Ufl may still b. a single user or it may be smaller ones,» ho said. Last year, Whitby and Dur- ham Region councils approved Invar's application for two mas- sive retail warehouses. Tii.

But following a corporate mer- gerbotween tho Price Club and CotoWarehouse Club (a simi- lar Ainerican bulk merchandi- ser), the Price Club component was shelved.
