StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Lakeshore Designs, Metaphor Home, Ashburnham Realty and For SmALL of Us

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…

Lakeshore Designs owner Angela Jones is planning to open the Boathouse Boutique and Bikini Beans Café in Buckhorn this summer. Located at 1929 Lakehurst Road at Lock 31 in Buckhorn, they are advertising for retail and barista positions right now so look for Lakeshore Designs on Facebook.

Metaphor Home is excited to show you their new location in downtown Peterborough as soon as the restrictions are lifted. Meanwhile, they are offering a capsule collection of some of their favourite items for your home, or for yourself. Check out Metaphor Home on Facebook.

Ashburnham Realty is also busy planning for a post-pandemic Peterborough. They are building a patio in the Commerce Courtyard, which will be utilized by a number of their tenants including St. Veronus, Le Petit Bar and the Food Forest. It’s a very cool hidden gem in Downtown Peterborough and will be a great gathering spot for events such as the First Friday Art Crawl.

These are just two examples of local businesses getting ready to come back strong. The resilience and positive approach were captured recently in a video put together by Mike and Shelby Watt, owners of Providence, Save Our Soles and Flavour Fashion.

The video is poignant but powerful in the way it illustrates Peterborough’s young entrepreneurs and their approach to business. Please check it out on social media and please continue to support all of our local businesses with their online and curbside offerings.
