Grow Your Business Here!

“It’s home. My neighbours also have been my neighbours for a very long time. So there’s that sense of community. Small businesses work well together. I don’t feel like I’m competing for traffic with others in our spaces. There’s a sense of using each other’s skills and growing each other’s businesses.”

“You meet your customer base everywhere. You can walk uptown Woodstock, and fifteen people at the restaurant know who you are. It’s kind of nice, you walk by, hey Jeff, hey Shawn. It’s like, yeah, saw you in the shop yesterday.”

“I think it’s the connection with the people that come in. A lot of people I know on a first-name basis, and we catch up on more than just, oh, what are you having for supper tonight.”

“When I moved out here 20 years ago, there was maybe one-tenth of the houses that there are now, and we knew everyone. There’s still a pride in your community and a desire to get to know your neighbours, and this kind of allows people to do that.”

“I like the small-town feel, I like being part of the community, and being a pillar in that community. You have that rapport — you know what has happened in the past, you know what is going on with any particular patient at once. It’s a privilege to care for a village of people in that way.”
