Dixfield Ski-Doo shop heading for Wilton

WILTON — A former shop on Route 2 will once again showcase snowmobiles, parts and accessories.

Scott Frechette, owner of Frechette's Ski-Doo, now located in Dixfield, is preparing to move the shop to the former site of Trask's Inc. on Route 2.

He has bought the property including three sets of buildings and hopes to make the move to Wilton over the Thanksgiving weekend, he said Wednesday. The showroom has undergone some renovation and signs should be going up soon.

Since the site was formerly used as a snowmobile dealership, Wilton Code Enforcement Officer Paul Montague was able to issue a transfer use permit for the business, Montague said.

Along with the sale of Ski-Doo brand snowmobiles, Frechette's shop provides services, parts and accessories for all brands of snow machines, as well as motorcycles, ATVs and other recreational vehicles.

Some truck merchandise such as off-road tires for pickups will also be on site and Frechette may include some used car sales.

"I do a little bit of everything," he said.

A Buckfield native, Frechette has lived in Peru and has operated the snowmobile business in Dixfield for more than six years. He will close the Dixfield site and transfer everything to Wilton.
