I am looking to open a Bridal Consignment store at 12 Eramosa Rd, downtown Guelph. Currently the unit I am looking to occupy is zoned as residential, however it is not ideal for an apartment. I have submitted my paperwork for a Minor Variance Amendment with the city of Guelph which would allow for me to run my business from this location. I would love to have the community's support and backing on this matter.

The building was very run down and was an eyesore for the neighbourhood surrounding it. Renovations and updates have been done to bring back the beauty of the building.

Sixpence Bridal Studio is a consignment bridal store that specializes in the sale of new and pre owned wedding gowns and accessories. We carry a wide selection of designer wedding gowns in a range of sizes, all at a discounted price. Sixpence will also be offering alterations and custom dressmaking for the city of Guelph and surrounding areas.

I encourage anyone to drive by the building and have a look at the space before signing this petition. If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]

Thank you for your time

Jackie Riddell

Seeing one hundred names on this list is truly overwhelming because I never imagined this many neighbors would care about my little shop. The energy you have all brought to this project belongs entirely to you and I am just happy to be along for the ride.

I imagine it is the kind of business where there would be a small number of clients at one time & therefore would not require too many parking spots! The strategic location has great visibility & would also enhance the look of the building.

What a fantastic idea!!! I support small business in Guelph, especially when it cleans up run down buildings. I will be one of the first customers, I need to get rid of my old wedding dress. Good Luck!!

This store should be allowed to open in the space requested, as we should be supporting Young entrepreneurs in Guelph, especially if they want to add to the small business community of the downtown area that needs more business. This is not a bar/club going into the space which would be disruptive, it's a quiet bridal salon.

That is what Guelph needs what a great idea! I give my full support if the space canot be used as a residential space why not make it beautiful again and use it for a bridal store!

As a young women who is getting married I really wish Guelph had more to offer for brides to be. I found I had to drive out of town for more selection and cosignment for brides would be great.

I live in the area (Eramosa/Queen) and have been impressed by the renovations at this building. There is another business close by (dance studio) and I don't find it disruptive to the area. I think it adds character! This seems like a natural extension of the downtown business area and should be encouraged.
