StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Electric City Works, Traynor Farms, Welsh Marketing and FutureProofing Retail

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… 

South - Eatery by Electric City Works is Peterborough’s newest restaurant. Located at 597 Monaghan Road, owners Tara and Adam Genge say that South features delicious pub fare currently available for takeout orders Wednesday to Saturday. Electric City Works, meanwhile, is located on Charlotte Street.

Originally Chalk Therapy, Tara and Adam expanded the furniture refinishing business to include retail, event and workshop space, partnerships with other makers and a fully licensed Market featuring local beer and wine, fresh homemade baked goods, soups and sandwiches, grocery items and heat at-home meals.

The South - Eatery will be the source for much of the food available in their Market.

Traynor Farms continues to evolve and innovate. A third-generation family farm, you can now browse their online store to see the complete inventory of farm-raised cuts of beef, chicken, pork, and lamb, as well as heat-and-serve meals, baked goods, and more… all locally sourced of course!

They offer free delivery with a minimum order or you can place your order online and pull up for curbside pickup. You can also shop at their Farm Store located just 15 minutes south of Peterborough or you can chat with owner Greg Traynor every Saturday at the Peterborough Farmer’s market beside the Memorial Centre.

Jennifer Welsh is also adapting to the new realities of doing business. In her 31st year as the owner of Welsh Marketing Inc., you can now browse their branded merchandise, customized apparel, and PPE Covid-19 solutions on their website and social media channels. With the lack of in-person gatherings, Jennifer can offer some creative ways to continue to market your business.

If you are a retailer trying to plan your reopening strategy, Peterborough and the Kawarthas Economic Development is offering a special workshop called Future Proofing Retail: Retail Trends and Innovations for 2021 and Beyond. Join Lisa Hutcheson on June 15th for this online interactive workshop to get some inspiration and ideas. Details and registration are at peterboroughed.ca
