What's On in The Kawarthas!
Serving The Kawarthas Since 1996
Stuart "Stu" Harrison writes a weekly column about business news (published on KawarthaNow.com on Fridays and in the Peterborough Examiner on Mondays) and hosts a business segment every Monday evening on CHEX-TV's Newswatch.
When Bill Storey Pontiac closed its doors Rick Storey, his wife Helene and their children took off on a year-long trip around the world. During that trip Rick discovered an amazing coffee machine in Italy, made by SAECO, and he recently introduced his new business, The Kawartha Gourmet Coffee Company. Rick has already placed 10 machines which can produce individually brewed cappuccino, espresso, mochaccino, café latte, hot chocolate, french vanilla, and ... oh yes, regular coffee! Rick provides the machine and does all of the cleaning, maintenance and resupply, so if you are interested in a high quality, worry free machine for your office, give Rick a call at (705) 768-3261 for a free trial.
