The owner of a downtown London used car lot says he is losing customers because of the safe injection site next door. So after 50 years at the same site, Dennis Krogman says his business is up for sale.
The owner of a downtown London used car lot says he is losing customers because of the safe injection site next door.
So after 50 years at the same site, Dennis Krogman says his business is up for sale.
“I want to sell. I’m tired, but I’m also tired of fighting the City of London,” said Krogman.
At 78, he told CTV News the decision to list his used car lot is sooner than he and his daughter, Denise had planned.
Starting in 2018, the pair led an effort to stop the movement of the temporary safe drug injection site from King Street to 446 York St. — they ultimately lost the challenge.
In July, a temporary trailer at the new permanent injection site opened.
Once renovations to an existing building are complete, a larger safe injection site is expected to open.
