    4. Location: The store is in a great plaza owned by Metrus and it is at the busy corner of Major Mackenzie & Markham road, next to Once Upon a Child, and PetSmart, in a Food Basics plaza, and walking distance to The Home Depot and LCBO.
    5. Staff: Our staff are amazing and we have great social media presence.
