No Comments Custom Business Signs – UPDATING DOWNTOWN
Façade Grant Program For The City Of Kitchener’s Downtown Core
For the past few years The City Of Kitchener has been making changes to create a new streetscape. Wider sidewalks, and better lighting are just a couple of ways they are creating a new look for the downtown core. Many business owners are taking notice and relocating their shops to the area. Others are upgrading existing buildings to match the surroundings. The City Of Kitchener has created a Façade Grant Program to assist business owners with this transition.
We’ve been involved with three of these Grant recipients GLOSS, THE SILVER SPOON, and THE SPORTSLINK. Each of these store changed their entrances to best reflect their unique businesses, and people are taking notice of their custom business signs.

Just wanted to let you know we love the teapot. There isn’t a day that goes by without someone commenting on it. It has really made a difference to our visibility on the street. Thanks again to Amos and Peter and everyone else who worked on the sign and tea pot. We are really pleased with the way it turned out.Now her Artistic Feature Teapot is featured in the news where they had this to say about her business storefront
Bright red paint, big windows and the hanging teapot sign make it one of the most inviting spaces along the main street.
That’s what it’s all about. Inviting people to the area, welcoming them into the shops and creating a pleasant place to be.
