We Compiled a little Q&A featuring some of the most common questions we have been asked this week. Why are you moving?
The simple answer is that we need more kitchen space. The long answer is that we have evolved into something special for Guelph over the last 3 years. Something very different than our original plan for Portions. With the growing popularity of our store made individual meals and our gluten-free baking the small kitchen originally designed around making deli salads and sandwich platters has become quite cramped. The move would allow us to focus on our evolved business direction. Discussions with the landlords have indicated that they would be more than happy to take over our space to accomodate their new plans for the plaza, so it's a win-win situation for both of us. Don't worry, we are not leaving town or going out of business and yes we are extremely happy that we have been given the opportunity to relocate. Where are you moving to?
While it is definite that we are moving it is not set in stone as to where. We have been looking at a couple of possible locations and are currently narrowing it down. Once a new lease has been signed we will let you know. When are you moving?
All parties involved would like to see the move take place as soon as possible. That being said we cannot even speculate on a date until we have our new location finalized. We should have a tentative date shortly. How do we know where you are moving to and when you will open again?
There are three ways to find out where we are moving to. You can come into the store to hear it directly from us, you can sign up for our newsletter and we will send you an email, or you can check our the blog page on our website (the blog page will also be a source for pictures and progress reports during the move). How will the new store differ from the current one?
The new store will have a more focused individual meal menu and we will be expanding our popular selection of dinner pies and quiche. We will also be bringing in more gluten-free items - both frozen and dry goods. Some of our current products will remain (i.e. Rootham's and Desert Pepper) but some will not be making the trek (i.e. Epicurean Cutting Surfaces and Wusthof Knives). What do we do now?
Come into the store at 35 Harvard Rd. to enjoy some great deals. Some items are up to 50% off! These discounts are store wide and go way beyond the products on the shelves... we have shelving, display items, even coolers and freezers for sale. Sread the word and spread the savings because truthfully we would rather sell it than move it! |
