Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Grand Events, BARKery, Big Papa Sandwich and Cormor

PTBOCanada is delighted to be running the Business Beat columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…

There’s a new events space in Brookdale Plaza at 861 Chemong Rd. called Grand Events.

Owner and operator Leslie Grand is a local teacher who loves spending time meeting new people and providing people with special ways to celebrate life events. She offers a stress-free space where you can host a party without worrying about cleanup.

There are pre-planned custom-themed parties to make planning easy. They set up the party, provide the games and fun and clean it all up when you’re done. Grand Events will also be hosting community building events like coffee and tea socials, youth nights, and artisan craft shows. Find out more at grandevents.ca.

The owners of The Original Spaghetti House have opened Peterborough’s newest sandwich eatery at their 512 George St. South location.

Big Papa Sandwich offers quality cuisine with hand-picked ingredients. Sandwiches include chicken, veal, meatball, steak and sauteed veggie. Takeout and delivery are available. Check them out at the corner of George and Lansdowne Street.

A Peterborough company is looking to 3D print houses.

Cormor, lead by Dwight Corcoran and PTBOCanada founder Neil Morton, have machinery that uses innovative technology to print homes out of concrete. It’s the first large-scale 3D concrete printer in Canada.

They’re looking to build homes as well as commercial and industrial buildings through modular and on-site construction. The process offers a cost-effective and quick way to build high-quality and sustainable buildings.
