<strong>Business</strong> <strong>Profile</strong> 2018<br />
Fifty-four years of service to the community<br />
The fact that Coronation OK Tire<br />
has been here 54 years is an achievement<br />
Janet Zimmer is very proud of.<br />
“Lorne was an entrepreneur. In<br />
1964 we came with absolutely<br />
nothing and built this business to<br />
what it is today,” Zimmer<br />
said.<br />
Over the years, business<br />
grew steadily to<br />
warrant building a new<br />
shop in 1977, where the<br />
business is located today.<br />
With Lorne’s passing in<br />
2012 Janet continues to<br />
run the business with the<br />
help of son Mark Zimmer<br />
and long time employees<br />
Jim Campion who has<br />
been with the company<br />
for 52 years, Susan Wills<br />
for 16 years, Terry<br />
Dawson for 38 years,<br />
Walter Jaraway who has<br />
Lamontagne & Son Holdings Ltd.<br />
Maurice and Marion Lamontagne<br />
started this company over 50 years<br />
ago, hauling grain and gravel in the<br />
Coronation area. Their son Dennis<br />

the company now.<br />

used mostly for grain<br />
area with tire needs and oil changes,<br />
in the shop, on the farm, from semi<br />
to a car - they look after them all as<br />
well as taking after hour call outs.<br />
“I have been pleased to have the<br />
business and I am very proud of<br />
Lorne for doing<br />
what he did in<br />
taking the initial<br />
risk. His motto was<br />
“you have to spend<br />
money to make<br />
money,” Janet said.<br />
“It’s been a wonderful<br />
experience.<br />
The customers<br />
have been great<br />
and the business<br />
has been good.”<br />
