StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Flossophy, StudioPTBO, Business Excellence Awards and Excelsior 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… 

Congratulations to Danielle McIver on the opening of Flossophy. Danielle started her business in March of last year and was able to adapt and grow what she described as her little candy floss company into a full-blown confectionary store!

Located at 75 Hunter St. in East City, Flossophy features handspun candy floss, made on-site chocolate, gourmet popcorn, candy collections, soft-serve ice cream and super sundaes jammed with all your favourite toppings!

What if You Could? - The Mindset & Business Blueprint for Your Life of Purpose, is the title of a new book available now!

Co-authored by former PTBOCanada owner Neil Morton and Cody May of StudioPTBO, the book includes many local Peterborough references and is designed to give people the motivation and the mental toolkit they need to create a more prosperous, happier life personally and professionally.

From surrounding yourself with the right people to creating your own luck in life, Neil and Cody have created an easy-to-read gem, packed with valuable tips. Just look for “What If You Could? on Amazon.

Last call for nominations for the 18th annual Peterborough Business Excellence Awards from the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce. As we emerge, battered and bruised from the pandemic, it’s time to rally behind local businesses and recognize the hard work, creativity and resilience of our business community.

Nominating your favourite business is as easy as entering their name and self-nominations are encouraged and are a great way to recognize your team. The deadline is June 23. Details are at excellencepeterborough.ca

Congratulations to Satish Thakkar and the Excelsior Group on last Friday’s groundbreaking celebration for a $10 million project on the North East corner of Parkhill Road and Chandler Crescent.

Called Excelsior Centre - Peterborough, the 13,000 square foot development will include 15 second-floor apartments and ground-floor retail. Excelsior is committed to hiring as many sub trades from the local area as possible and expects to complete construction in early 2022. The Brock Mission and Cameron House both received donations as part of the ceremony on Friday.
