At least 16 new businesses have opened in the city centre since January, covering such diverse sectors as food and hospitality, professional services, health, esthetics, clothing and videos.
The new businesses include Bamboo, Castle Restaurant, The Keg, Whiskey Bar & Grill, Downtown Diner, Le Steak at Filmore East, Pause Cafe, Pitt for Pasta, Mila’s Gelato, American Apparel, ON Studio, Park Street Video, Pre-Paid Legal Services, Royal Windsor Pharmacy, Windsor Beauty and Esthetics Supply and Sweet Life Health and Spa.
According to the Downtown Windsor Business Improvement Association, downtown Windsor now has more restaurants per capita than any other city in southwestern Ontario.
Meanwhile at the market this weekend, the WonderBroads will display the boat they’ll be using in the Dragon Boat Racing for Breast Cancer Survivors event and accepting donations.
Other newcomers to the market include local photographer Sue McKellar, who will display her works, and pharmacist Rocco D’Angelo from the Royal Windsor Pharmacy who will be available to answer health-related questions.
