/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…
Congratulations to Donna and Andrew Rork of Cottage Toys as they have started the construction of their new retail location at the corner of Queen and Concession Streets in Lakefield.
Donna, who started the business more than 30 years ago, says the new building will provide the space they need, more parking and high visibility for their watersport equipment like kayaks and paddle boards, as well as their multiple clothing and swimwear lines.
Four Points Construction has been awarded the building project and is working towards a May 2022 opening.
Living Local Marketplace will be opening a storefront in Peterborough this month. Owner Alicia Doris has secured space at 1179 Chemong Rd., across from Portage Place, to add another dimension to her business.
Living Local provides gift boxes featuring artwork, bath and body, food and drink, and lifestyle products from artisans and small businesses in Peterborough & The Kawarthas.
You can subscribe to a seasonal box, build your own, and now stop into the shop. Watch for news on the opening soon at livinglocalbox.com or on social media.
