Welcome to the neighborhood Jason, Angie, and Mya!

We would like to introduce ourselves (Jason, Angie, and Mya) as the new owners of Moose Jaw and we are so very excited about our new adventures with you all. We are already loving the warmth of all the locals ❤️. We look forward to meeting more of you and watching your families grow each summer. We hear that the snowmobile season is amazing here, and for the first time in our lives we are actually praying for snow ❄️! Can hardly wait to meet the diehard sleders and ATV/UTVers!

We are grateful that all of the current staff will be staying on with us! And we know Ed and Beth are grateful that they can now spend a lot more of their time with their two lovely daughters.

A sincere THANK YOU to John, Patti, Beth, and Ed for being so welcoming, patient, and helpful while making this transition. You might be happy to know that you will still see John around as he has agreed to guest bartend from time to time.

We know we have big shoes to fill and we are committed to the continued success of Moose Jaw and Woods Edge. We hope to see you all very soon!

NOTE-Our first day of business will be this Thursday, November 10th and will continue with the regular seasonal hours. Closed on Thanksgiving, and then opening again on Nov 25-Dec 23.
-Thursday and Friday 3-close
-Saturday and Sunday 11a-close
Regular seasonal hours resume December 26th. Watch for food specials!

PS-we will do our very best to remember everyone's name (sooo many great people that we have already met! ♥️). More posts coming soon!
