The Luxus Team
The Luxus Group reflects the same family values and work ethic that allows the Petasky family to successfully operate their Sobeys franchises in Sherwood Park. As long time business owners, they sought an opportunity to diversify their business and created The Luxus Group out of their originating desire to find a vacation option that best fit their family’s lifestyle and financial needs. The Luxus Group is truly a “Family” business, passionately and creatively working to fulfill its mission.
