It's slow and steady but progress is being made on the new strip mall just west of the Co-op in High River.

Mike Bliss, the owner of the new "Mr. Mike's" says he's been hearing a lot of "When are you going to be open?"

"We hear it from all over the place, my wife and I both, and I'm sure my kids hear about it at school as well. It's another new business for the Town which is cool!"

Bliss says if he could open tomorrow he would, but it looks like we'll have to be patient for a while yet.

"You know unfortunately, it's probably not going to be until the end of the year. It might be January. That's probably what it'll end up being. It'll depend on how fast this building goes up and then how quickly I can get things done inside, once I can get my hands on it."

Bliss says he's excited to be a business owner in High River.
