Q& &A

WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATION? My inspiration comes from the passion I have to take care of people through my food and hospitality. I aspire to be the best through hard work and determination. I will continue to develop my restaurant, my own skills as well as my team’s. When my son looks at me with so much pride in his eyes, I feel like I must achieve greatness.

ressed by an Olive wants to change your oil ways.

Give your family a healthy alternative to store bought olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Our motto is keep your food simple and it will be delicious. We sell fresh unfiltered olive oils and balsamic vinegars. The oils we sell are not refined or adulterated with seed oils, the Extra Virgin Olive Oil is third party lab tested at the time of crush.

dressed by an Olive, Inc A F R E S H B O L D TA ST E

We give you the chemistry, country of origin and crush date and no, this oil is not expensive. We offer a fresh alternative to store bought olive oils at a reasonable price. Our store is like a wine tasting room except you will sample different varietals of olives that have been crushed into oil. The olive is a fruit rich in 200+ micronutrients, polyphenols (antioxidents) and oleocanthal. Oleocanthal is a natural component that acts as an anti-inflammatory to help reduce inflammation. It is important not to consume refined olive oil because these components are destroyed with the refining process. We have over 30 varieties of balsamic vinegars that are naturally infused with no added sugars or sulphites, only what naturally occurs in the grape. After all, balsamic vinegar is made from grapes. The dark traditional balsamic vinegar are aged up to 18 years during which it carmelizes for a smooth less acidic taste. Infused balsamic vinegars and oils are simply infused with the natural extract of a fruit or herb. A tasty ingredient to use for cooking or as a marinade and even for desserts. Organic Ocean Seafood is available at dressed by an Olive. We are proud to sell Hook and Line Caught Wild Pacific Coast Salmon, Sablefish also known as Black Cod and Sushi Grade Albacore Tuna Loin.

Q& &A

We started this business to give the county somewhere you can shop and get great service, top quality meats and goods at grocery store prices. We specialize in Ontario pork, chicken and lamb and the finest Canadian AAA Beef all cut to order and ground fresh daily. All of our sausage, burgers, and premade foods are made right here with NO by-products or preservatives. We smoke all of our meats from fresh, using our own Chop Shop signature spice blends over a combination of apple and maple woods to create a deep smoky flavour and color. If a customer wants a brisket or pork shoulder smoked but doesn’t know how we will either walk him thru the process or do it for them. It’s really all about service. We are foodies! We love to hear what our customers create with our fresh products and love to share our own experiences with them.

WHAT SORT OF PREMADE PRODUCTS DO YOU HAVE? Including our smoked meats, we make a tons of sausage, literally. We also make pot pies and tourtieres, cabbage rolls, meatloaf, meatballs, stuffed mushrooms and peppers and much more. TONS OF SAUSAGE REALLY? Yes really. We currently feature 34 different sausages that we prepare fresh and rotate thru. We like to think; we have something for everyone, and are always working on new

special tastes. We make hundreds of pounds a week and try to keep at least 15 – 20 kinds available always. WHAT ELSE SETS YOU APART? Our 60 day dry aged beef is a definite winner. If you haven’t tried a dry aged tomahawk steak your mouth hasn’t lived! We also make and sell all our own spice blends for various meats and have a huge selection of BBQ sauces, spices and marinades from all over the world. WHAT IS THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS? So far it seems to be customer service and catering to each individual, making sure each person leaves happy with what they wanted or something better! ANYTHING ELSE WE NEED TO KNOW? Recently we started The Smoking Group. If you are too busy to prepare something for yourself we do it for you. Call and place your order for wings, chicken, ribs and meat cuts you feel like. Then simply pick up your fresh smoked meats for a hot and delicious dinner.

1455 Matthew Brady Blvd. Windsor, ON 519.944.5277 www.bayviewglass.com

would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our company of over 29 years, Bay-View Glass and Mirror Ltd. We provide complete residential, commercial, industrial glass and mirror services and are particularly proud of our custom design work. We are a member of Greater Windsor Home Builders Association and our work can be seen in some of the finest homes and businesses in southwestern Ontario, as well as in Casino Windsor and Casino Rama. Available at Bay-View, custom back-painted glass is absolutely gorgeous in homes and offices and provides limitless design capabilities. Forget about trying to find the right shade of wall tile for your new shower, kitchen back-splash or feature wall. Instead, Bay-View can back-paint your exact hue to the back of glass panels cut to your space and then professionally install them for a precise, waterproof fit. Now you can have the polish, clarity and protection of a glass surface with your desired colour – any shade imaginable – showing through. To achieve the effect, Bay-View applies a specially designed formula that bonds securely and directly to the back of the glass. The colour can be given added depth with an opaque, translucent, metallic or pearl finish. If a home renovation is on your to-do list, a bathroom remodel is one of the smartest investments you can make. According to the 2016 Cost vs. Value report from Remodeling magazine, the average return in investment for a mid-range bathroom remodel is nearly 85 percent. This attractive alternative to tile is also smart. “Say goodbye to scrubbing grout on your shower walls. You can clean your shower in minutes with a simple swipe of a squeegee.”

et Fit By The Experts at The Delicate Touch where every woman is unique. Our cozy and intimate shop is comfortable and inviting, stocked with over 5000 bras in all colours and styles. Opened in 1989, we are the Bra-Fitting Specialists with high standards and attentive service.

Q& &A

While you’re in the shop, browse for your personal attire- from lounge wear, robes, pajamas and nightshirts to bathing suits. Certified fitters, called “lingerie experts,” are always available. The wrong bra will cause shoulder sloping, neck curvature, headache and back aches, while the right one will improve posture, appearance and self esteem. We believe a proper fit is essential and we can fit any body type or size. Stock ranges from a 28 through 54 back size and cup sizes are available from A to N. At The Delicate Touch, we treat every woman with professionalism and dignity, no matter what her requirements are.We have bras for every day, very special occasions, nursing and after breast surgery or prostheses. Our level of personal care is paramount for our customers. BRANDS/PRODUCTS YOU CARRY?: Over 5000 Bras in stock mostly imported from the UK, Germany, France, Belgium, examples: Chantelle, Fantasie, Prima Donna, Panache, Anita, Felina, Goddess. Sports bras, strapless, nursing, enhancing, minimizing to name a few. Mastectomy Needs: Bra Prostheses, Bathing Suits, Camisoles. Sleepwear and Loungewear, bathing suits, slippers and much more. HOW DID YOU START YOUR BUSINESS?: In 1989 I had just got married and I worked 3-11 at Grace Hospital as a nurse’s aide in

Labour & Delivery. 2 of my nursing friends and I thought we’d start making slips and camisoles for under our uniforms and sell them to our coworkers. We did our homework, got our supplies together and rented a little storefront downtown on Park, at the corner of Pelissier. One thing led to another and before we knew it we had a few racks with beautiful sleepwear on it and we started to grow from there. I was content just to offer gowns and pyjamas, and I didn’t think bras were necessary at all. I lost that argument, thankfully, and we started to bring in some bras. If I won that argument, I don’t think I’d be here, 26 years later! Bras have become our specialty and we’ve grown to be quite fussy at what we do. PEOPLE ARE SURPRISED TO KNOW: That I have been doing this for 26 years! We get new people in here every day and they’re excited they’ve found us, finally! AND, that we are as busy in here as we are! We have four staff most days, and we could almost use a fifth! Also, that there are over 5000 bras in this store! DESCRIBE YOUR SHOPS VIBE: Professional and Caring. Customers really feel we are here for them, we hear them tell others in the store not to worry and that they’re in good hands.We get hugs, we get tears, it can be a very emotional visit for a lot of ladies. Our store is set up like a big bedroom. Lace pillows and trim all around, old furniture and wood, like the comfort of your Grandmother’s room.
