Happy New Year's!!!!

Happy New Year's!!!!

From Samantha and I, we would like to Thank everyone for their continued support and wish you all prosperity, happiness and good health for 2022!

We have a lot of plans for the upcoming year at the Amherst Shore Country Store, the Kitchen & the Tidnish Store so in order to bring this all to fruition, January 4th will be my last day with Scotiabank. It was a pleasure working with everyone over the last 2 years and I hope to see you on the North Shore.

P.S. we're opened from 9:00am - 8:00pm today and I'm baking.

I would like to Thank the firefighters and emergency response team who helped the roofers after they fell this morning!

Both roofers have minor injuries and will be very sore in the days to come.

Thank you to everyone that reached out with concern. I love being part of a community that cares so very much!

Thanks,
Jay

To the person(s) that decided to cut open the cage, take ALL the propane tanks, the chain and the lock and leave their garbage in the cage ..... THANK YOU!!! My time is limited and you've helped me to decide where it shouldn't be spent! THANK YOU! Now maybe I'll get more than 5 hours of sleep a night.
...one bad apple spoils the basket!

I've never seen my wife so furious, she's now undecided if she wants to reopen the store!

Update: Samantha found receipts in the garbage and RCMP has been engaged due to the large number of tanks stolen.

Thank you for your continued support. We will prioritize the installation of cameras. This work will start tomorrow.

Thanks,
Jason

As we continue renovations on the Tidnish Country Store we wanted to share an exciting update.

On September 27th, Samantha and I will be taking over the Amherst Shore Country Store. We are excited to continue supporting the community in which we live and work!

As we transition the store, we will observe what works well and what needs to be improved. We'd be happy to hear thoughts, feedback and comments from the community, openly or privately.

Please share and like our new page.

Thanks,

Samantha and I have recently purchased the Tidnish Country Store. We are excited to re-open the store and can't wait to be a part of the community. Our initial plan was to reopen the store July 2021; unfortunately there is a lot of critical work that's needed.

We have started working on cleaning up the store by removing and dumping all inventory in the store. The products were beyond expired; additionally items have leaked and sodas have exploded, which caused further damage and additional clean up. This step is almost completed.

Next steps:

• Fix the foundation and level the floors
• New Roof as it's leaking
• As for the gas tanks, we are currently investigating the age of the tanks. We were told that they are 29 years old and will not be usable.

Once these have been completed, we can begin renovations inside the building.

Our goal is to reopen in the Spring of 2022. We will provide updates on our page as they come available.

We wish you a fun and safe summer and can't wait to meet you!

Thanks,
Jay & Samantha
