many hundreds of people lined up for a free Christmas cactus at the bay centre today at noon. But they only had about 200 so they had to tell most people in the line they were out of luck.
when they ran out of the plants, people got a $10 winners gift card instead.

1979. Fuzzy Wuzzy positions itself as a discount roll-end outlet.

Are there any true roll-end stores anymore? They're all full-service, full-range flooring.
because they make very poor margins on the popular and common stuff. they make their rent on supplying the exotic rare stuff with margins way better. as much as 5x to 10x better.

^ Looks like the new owners of the hotel want to run it themselves.

Santé Spa on Bear Mountain has closed.
MacIntyre said the two parties had agreed on financial terms in September and were just in the process of formalizing legal paperwork for the lease.
Brian Harrington, general manager for the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa, said the spa’s lease had expired and was in a month-to-month stage. Instead of renewing it, the hotel decided it will operate the spa after renovating and rebranding.
“We just looked at it as a great business opportunity to continue to build our brand at the resort,” Harrington said. The hotel plans to keep the spa closure to a minimum and will be hiring for all positions.
After a meeting with the hotel on Sunday, MacIntyre said employees were notified of the closure and handed their notices. Moving to a new location at this point would be problematic, he said, with too many logistics required to be up and running right away.
“We have all the equipment but finding a new place on such short notice requires negotiating a new lease, drawing out plans, getting approvals and building a space for the spa,” MacIntyre said. “It would probably be a year-long project before we’re up and running again.”
