What does your business do?
We are a pewter studio and rockshop. We both retail and wholesale.
The business is unique in that it is the largest pewter studio in Ontario that is open for tours. Plus, we are the largest rock shop in Ontario with rocks, crystals, gemstones, mineral specimens and gemstone beads.

When did the business open?
Our business started in 1974, and moved to St. George in 1989.

What kind of people (or businesses) are your customers?
Our customers range greatly in both age and location. Our beads sell to ages from teens to retired. Our customers generally range from Sarnia to Ottawa, but we have had many from all over the world such as Australia, Switzerland, England. On the wholesale, we sell our pewter throughout Canada and the United States. Many of the businesses we sell to are gift stores, tack shops, and museums.

What are your goals for your business in one year's time?
In the upcoming year, we hope to expand our services to the traveling customer with an expanded showroom space and more unique products.
