StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Chaska, Package Plus, Katmat Nutrition and Castle Building Centre
/PTBOCanada is delighted to be running StoosNews columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…
CHASKA is an East Indian word for Obsession. It is also the name of a Chain of Toronto restaurants that have now added Peterborough to their list of locations.
Located at 441 George St. in the former Pete’s Subs location, Chaska offers a wide variety of dishes inspired by the sights, sounds and flavours of the truck stops, food carts and open-air markets of India.
CEO Naveen Seth is “obsessed” with eating happy, not heavy, which influences their menu of fresh, prepared daily, locally-sourced foods, savoury spices, herbs and marinades.
Many people know Bruce Stewart of Package Plus on Rink Street. Bruce started a video transfer business out of his basement in 1986 and rented a mailbox at Package Plus eventually taking over the business in 1998.
His son Adam is transitioning into the ownership role as Bruce slowly transitions into retirement. You will still find Bruce behind the counter though, watching over a business that provides a wide variety of business services, from courier services to printing, to yes, video transfer and mailbox rentals.
