T2 – Transcend Garneau update

Well, it is the 12th of March, and things are moving forward, albeit slowly. Actually, in terms of sourcing all of things required for the new coffee bar, we are in pretty good shape. The chairs, tables, lights, counter tops, and millwork have all been ordered. We took possession of our POS system today so that new staff can begin training on it. Our eight new baristas started their training yesterday and will continue to train so that all of them are bar ready by the 12th of April. I am heading to the SCAA on the 13th of April, so we are planning to have a soft opening sometime in the following week. Stay tuned for more info as it develops. It looks like we will plan a grand opening sometime in May, once we have had 3 - 4 weeks of run time to properly work out the kinks. We are all excited, and a bit exhausted at the process so far. Props have to go to Bill, Candy and Chuck for their great work so far, and Kim our designer has been doing backflips for us since she got home from the US. As per usual my goto staff at Transcend have been doing stellar work in getting prepped for the big day. So, in short, we are getting closer, and we will let you know a more concrete opening date as soon as we can. Thanks for being patient along with all the rest of us.
