It’s never too early to get a taste of the entrepreneurial spirit.
That was the case recently in Chatham as a group of kids who call themselves “The Parkwood Pals” raises more than $100 selling lemonade, muffins, squishees, and bracelets on Tweedsmuir Avenue.
The plan is to donate the funds to a local charity, R.O.C.K. Missions.
So, not only are they learning about business, they are learning about being good corporate citizens.
Bubble time
Jessica Son is back in Dresden.
She’s opened Bubble Pop Ice Cream and Bubble Tea Shop on George Street.
Her parents have run Sonny’s Variety for more than three decades.
“To some I am a familiar face and some a stranger. I grew up in Dresden, moved to the city, had kids and came back,” Son said recently on social media. “As a parent, I came to appreciate the charming and quaint life that Dresden has to offer. Life is all about enjoying the little things.”
Son described Bubble Pop as a “fun, family friendly space, where you can celebrate life’s little and big moments. We sell Ice Cream and a little taste of the city, Bubble Tea! (And more items to come).”
She has invested the past 1.5 years prepping the store and her business model and is now open.
No limits for Higher Limits
Higher Limits co-owner Greg Kazarian reported recently the locally owned cannabis distribution company earned accolades at one of their stores.
“Big win for our store in Amherstburg as we have been voted best in cannabis in all of Windsor-Essex,” he said on a social media post.
Higher Limits also operates a store on Catherine Street in Blenheim.
“Cannabis isn’t just our profession; it’s our passion, and taking the time to make sure our clients are served with care and compassion is our top priority,” Kazarian said.
