THANK YOU FOR A GREAT 2025
On behalf of Esther, Beth, Meghan, their teams, and us, thank you for your incredible support in a challenging 2025. From the start, six years ago, our objective was to increase the economic, cultural and social health of Amherstburg.
With our shops and support of the arts, we know that we are successfully doing exactly that. This year we were honoured to receive the “Believe Windsor-Essex” award presented by the Windsor and Essex Chamber. Not only did it recognize our work but even more importantly it shined a light on beautiful heritage Amherstburg.
Please have a look at our story: Click here to view the film! Have a healthy and happy holidays, and we hope to see you in our shops in the new year.
