The Kootenay region is undoubtedly truck country, with more 4 X 4’s and pickup trucks per capita than just about anywhere else in western Canada.  So it is a natural place for a Cap-It, “the truck accessory store” franchise.

The Cap-It store in Cranbrook has new franchise owners, Nicole and Corey Kauffman, who recently moved to Cranbrook from Alberta.  The new owners recently held their grand opening and Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce business-after-business open house.

“Cap-It Cranbrook is way more than canopies, we have everything you need to customize your truck and your lifestyle,” says Nicole Kauffman, new franchisee/operator. “Truck accessories and outdoor lifestyle products make Cap-It a must stop shop for truck owners and area leisure and adventure enthusiasts.”

“If you think CAP-it is just canopies you will be in for a great surprise. It is absolutely amazing the variety of really neat truck and vehicle accessories they have. And now they have added an entire outdoor lifestyle product line,” said Nicole Kauffman, summing up her enthusiasm with her new franchise store.
