Come Visit Our New Store

We've been hard at work preparing the new store; we love the new place - we hope you do too. We're still tidying up here and there, and setting up some behind-the-scenes storage, but don't let that hold you back.

Located East of the Civic Hospital at intersection of Carling and Sherwood, down the hill from the Dominion observatory. The locate us section may help you further.
