StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Tragically Dipped, T-Elle Boutique, Jethro's Bar and Stage and Lakefield Optometrist

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…

Tragically Dipped opened recently at 386 Water St. Owner Mike Frampton offers old-school doughnuts, coffee, breakfast and snacks made with fresh local ingredients.

It’s a brand-new restaurant space and Frampton will gradually expand the menu over the coming weeks. The doughnuts have been so popular that Mike is limiting walk-in purchases to one box of six per person! You can also pick up some whole bean coffee from Rapids End.

T-Elle Boutique in Downtown Peterborough has a new owner. Victoria Shaoling has been inspired by Lien Vu, the previous owner, so she decided to start a new adventure in the fashion industry and purchased the boutique.

Located at 131 Charlotte St., across from Galaxy Cinema, T-Elle Boutique offers fancy apparel for proms, graduations, parties, Mother of the bride or any special occasion. Victoria also carries fashionable casual collections made in Montréal. Stop in or visit telleboutique.com.

Jethro’s Bar and Stage just opened last week at 137 Hunter St. in Peterborough.

Owner Kayla Howrand and her family have taken over the former Sapphire Room on Hunter Street and they plan to offer lots of live music, including Charlie Glasspool every Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 7. p.m. Follow Jethro’s Bar and Stage on Facebook for updates.

Lakefield Optometrist Dr. Rick Heyden recently retired after 27 years serving the Lakefield community.

Dr. Emily Kendall will be joining the practice, working alongside Dr. Jessica Nichols and Dr. Shelley Martel. In addition, Lakefield VisionCare is joining with FYidoctors, Canada's largest doctor-owned eye care provider. The practice will continue at the same Queen Street Lakefield location with the addition of FYidoctors' leading technology and expanded line of Canadian-made frames. Lakefieldvisioncare.com
