Many people in Iqaluit are more excited about what's opening next door in two weeks. Attached to the convenience store will be a new café.
Clark said it will have all the Starbucks-type specialty drinks that are available in southern Canada.
He added that the new cafe and store may mean more jobs for Inuit youth.
