Hi there,
Just wondering where you get all your wonderful local business information. Love the site!
Sophie
I get my info from all kinds of news sources and keeping my ears and eyes out.
Hello,
Just read the post from July 28th, wanted to let you know that Caribbean Twist is now operating out of South End Catering on Novalea Drive!
Cheers
I find it very ironic that you would criticize the “Nato Day” error and yet have four spelling mistakes in your first two sentences above the photo of the store closed sign:
“Speaking ofNSLC the new LEED certified one on Novalea also looks liek it is in it’s finishing stages
To no ones surprise the Pizza Delight on Tacoma closed, well I shouldn’t say that it was a surprise to employees who showed up for their shifts to find the doors locked.”
Clean up your own act before criticizing others! 😥
No kidding. The spelling and grammar on ReTales sometimes is absolutely atrocious!
Hey! Neat site.. any idea what’s opening at the old Robie Foods location? It looks as though it’s shaping up to be a money mart.. please say it’s not.
Don’t worry it’s not a MoneyMart
It’s a CashMoney 🙂
Love the site! Any more news on the Five Guys opening?
Justin
the rights have been sold.
but head office official stance is “no immediate plans”
Hello, I was wondering if you could reach out to me about my restaurant moving. Thank you.
Hi,
As co-owner of The Brown Hound (formerly Pipa),I just wanted to let you know that our name change was due to new ownership, and a change in who frequents Argle during the construction.
Due to the dramatic and negative imoact of construction and a change in personal life, it was the time to close the doors and sell the business.
We thank all our great customers for their support as well as the Friday Salsa crowd and fabulous staff.
Hi, salvatores was expected to be closed for a week during renovations. Been closed for a month now, and there looks to be no activity. Any idea what is going on.
What is going on with salvatores. It closed for a short reno, but hasn’t re-opened.
Colin
They are still open every night, and lunches th-Saturday
should be back to normal in 2 weeks

Elle’s Bistro is now open!! 1678 Barrington Street. http://www.ellesbistro.com
I read your facebook posts quite often. Although I like the idea of your page, it should be informational and you should be neutral. Your comments are not always appropriate or factual. Also, in your about section, you say that big box stores will be represented as well but it is clear you are biased with your “support local” comments. I have nothing against supporting local but you do understand that big box stores employ LOCAL People right? They don’t employ aliens.
What is the word on Five Guys, still coming?
Hi,
How does one go about getting their shop mentioned on this site?
Thank you
The usual rule of thumb is to have a physical Presence in Halifax,
Whether it a Brick and Mortar store or a pop up
Just wondering If I could run something by you as a Business Idea in Dartmouth. If you care to chat Love to hear from you. Please write the email I left you!..Thanks 🙂

I noticed a for sale sign in the parking lot of Curly Portables in Enfield the other day. Any word if it’s actually for sale or maybe for the lot beside it? Also heard Jims Restaurant on the Bedford Highway is closed because the new owner committed suicide. Terrible news.
Sushi Nami Royale is moving I heard. It will turn to be Japanese pub. Interesting and exciting!!
I suspect it will be a lot like the current one but with an Izakaya section, kind of how the one in Dartmouth Crossing was touted as a Teppanyaki but it’s just one table
We would like to summit info about Bayside Camp’s “Christmas at the Cove – Gifts & Craft Fair” on your 2017 HRM Craft Shows page. How do we do that? http://baysidecamp.org/event/christmas-at-the-cove-2017/

Hey there, I heard through an optometrist that West Halifax Optometry has re-opened and is being now run by Ocean Optometry.

Hey! Looking for a space to do a pop-up shop for a plus-size clothing business that specializes in previously loved items. Any thoughts on where to find a space that is affordable? (we are just starting out).
I received an odd DM from your Instagram account. It sounded odd and I wanted to check if you were hacked, or if it is you in control of your account.
Hacked
Thank you for the reply. Do you want me to report it as well?
I knew the lengthy question and request didn’t sound like something you’d type or ask for.
I can email you screenshots if you’d like.
What’s going on with the Hungry Hut in Dartmouth on Ochterloney Street? They have not been open for at least a week.
I am not sure it has been 3 weeks I think
they have closed like this before just to reopen so I am hesitant to call it
Looks like Halime (Bud or Buddy) died. He was the pizza delivery man for the Hungry Hut. Here’s a link to his obituary:
