StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Clarke's Cafe, The Loomex Group & More!

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

If you’re in Millbrook and you say you’re going to “Clarke’s”, you could be going to the car wash, the laundromat, the gas bar, the service station, and now the café! Heather and Mike Clarke recently opened Clarke’s Café. Managed by Taylor Post, the café offers breakfast and lunch 7 days a week, for both dine in and take-out. They also run the automotive repair shop called Clarke’s Service Centre, and Mike’s father Bill still punches the clock every day to operate the car wash, laundromat and gas bar. Go to clarkesservicecentre.ca for details. 

The Modern Makers Market opened last week at 651 Chamberlain Street. A collective of over 35 vendors, The Modern Makers Market brings local small businesses into a store front for an easier shopping experience. A market vibe in a retail location! Whether you are Christmas shopping, or looking for something unique for yourself, or a special present, you’ll find one-of a kind art, home décor, soaps, jewellery, candles, clothing and more. Find the Modern Makers Market on Facebook. 

Congratulations to The Loomex Group on acquiring Montreal-based Explorer Solutions, known for their economic development and airport planning services. The move gives the Loomex Group access to a global market through the US and France.

The Canadian Council for the Blind, Peterborough Chapter, has a unique project called “From the Blind, For the Blind”. They gather visual aids from people who are no longer using them and pass them on to those in need. They have rehomed everything from closed captioning units to large key keyboards, and they have clients looking for scanners, braille printers, cctv’s, vision max glasses, magnifiers and more. Contact ccbpeterborough.com or call Debby Haryett at 705-874-6905.
