The North Dundas local business scene is changing rapidly lately. New small businesses are opening frequently, including “The Odd Shop” in downtown Winchester, a new arts and crafts store just outside of Winchester, and a new video game store in Chesterville.
The local food scene is changing as well, with shawarma added to downtown Winchester, and C&C Pizza Factory taking over from the former Big Mamas in Chesterville.
More recently, Winchester residents surely noticed that the building which formerly housed the Winchester Press will be turned into the town’s third pharmacy.
There are now “sold” signs on the Chesterville Fat Les location, which is listed online as being permanently closed. The location had opened just two years ago.
With much growth, a little bit of loss, and plenty of change, it’s clear that the small business sector in North Dundas is functioning normally. Sometimes change on the horizon represents growth of a community, and we should all be proud to be along for the ride.
