BIZ ROUNDUP

Welcome back to the Biz Roundup. Every month, we check in with our two neighbourhood BIAs (Wellington West and Westboro Village) to catch up on the latest news from the Kitchissippi business community.

Here are some of the latest headlines:

Changing it up 

The Wellington West BIA is launching a new business directory on its website. According to the friendly neighbourhood BIA, the directory will now include Google-based directions, an improved search function, one-click web links to stores, reservations, added photos, social media and more. Visit wellingtonwest.ca to check it out. 

For a short period, Wellington Butchery (1333 Wellington St. W.) will be temporarily closed (April 5-15) as the business takes on some renovations. Visit wellingtonbutchery.com to learn more. 

The Springroll House Cafe is under new management. The 1093 Wellington St. W. location was closed for renovations last month but reopened the first week of April. You can check out their menu at springrollhousecafe.com.
