Something is brewing at 6148 Main Street, Stouffville!

Seems like yesterday that I was seeing snow and standing on Main St in darkness at 6pm on 2nd Feb, thinking I have finally found a location for Red Bulb. Three months on, things have start really started to fizzle and we are beginning to see the cafe take shape.

We have let the cat out the bag!

The most significant and visible(to the world) development is of course the banner that is put up in front of the store. The banner is the first time we communicated with the Town of Stouffville and the announcement means that the clock has officially started for us – there will be expectations and anticipation, and we are no longer just a concept anymore. We are happy that we have received some really positive messages, giving us more impetus to work harder.

The renovation efforts has been spearheaded by Sching. With her architectural background and creative eye, she is certainly doing a far better job than if the rest of the team is doing it. It is an understatement to say that renovations is a complicated and costly affair; there are so many things to consider and everything costs money – but if that’s what it takes to brew a great cup of coffee in a nice setting, that’s what we have to do. Progress has been good so far with Mike(our contractor), and if we are able to get the necessary permits from the Town, we should be in good shape for opening day in July.
