WOW… where do we even begin?
As we reflect on our Grand Opening, we are overwhelmed with gratitude. More than 250 people came through our doors to celebrate with us, and the turnout was far beyond anything we could have imagined. Seeing so many loyal customers, friends, family members, community supporters, and new faces walk through our doors truly meant the world to us.
Opening this new shop has been a dream, but it has also been a tremendous amount of hard work. This past year has been a rollercoaster of emotions, countless late nights, and more hours than we can count spent moving, organizing, cleaning, and settling into our new location. There were times when it felt overwhelming, stressful, and exhausting, but after seeing the support we received today, we can confidently say it was the best move we have ever made.
Today would not have been possible without the incredible support, generosity, and hard work of so many people.
A special thank you to:
• Rob and his amazing wife for their generous donation
• Don’s Butchershop for supplying the delicious hamburgers and hot dogs enjoyed by everyone.
• Em Bigras for creating the beautiful balloon arch that made our entrance look amazing.
• Denis and Dan, our incredible cooks, who kept everyone fed throughout the day.
• David from Wurth Canada for the generous gifts and support.
• Denis and Paul for building the awesome picnic tables that helped make the day comfortable and welcoming for our guests.
• Home Hardware Sturgeon Falls for delivering the lumber needed to build the tables.
• Our amazing staff, who have worked tirelessly over the last six months organizing, cleaning, stocking, and helping transform our new location into what it is today. Your dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed.
• Our family and friends who have spent countless hours behind the scenes helping us prepare for this move and for today’s celebration. Whether it was moving, cleaning, building, organizing, decorating, or simply being there when we needed a hand, we could not have done it without you.
And finally, thank you to every single person who took time out of their day to join us. Thank you for sharing a meal with us, entering our giveaways, offering kind words of encouragement, and helping us celebrate this milestone. Your support, excitement, and belief in us made this day incredibly special.
Today was more than just a Grand Opening, it was the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Looking around and seeing over 250 people come together to celebrate with us was a moment we will never forget.
“Thank you” simply doesn’t seem like enough for the kindness, encouragement, support, and generosity we have received throughout this journey. We are truly grateful to be part of such an amazing community and look forward to serving you for many years to come.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
