WE ARE MOVING!

Effective September 2011 “Stonebridge Imports Ltd” will move from 25 Bridgeport Rd. E. in Waterloo to a new facility, prime location on Victoria Street (Hwy 7) in Kitchener, ON. Actually it will take a few months for the space to be remodeled, so we're not moving right away. The move, expected to occur over a 4-8 week period, will have the warehouse already operational from the new location as of August 3^rd. We are not moving too far away, just down and around a few blocks.  But we are in a much nicer location with more space and more room to grow and accommodate our clients!

Stonebridge Imports Ltd. has a core belief in ethical and courteous treatment as well as fair prices for their customers, and a long history of innovation within the rock, gift, gems and jewellery industry.  At SBI we believe that the new premises will be a huge win for us and for our customers.

For over 8 years Waterloo has been the home for our business and Kitchener has housed the warehouse for other 2 years. It feels like a lifetime 9 years ago that our family first ventured out on our own and started Stonebridge Imports Ltd. In those days we worked out of a 100 sq.ft office near Ottawa St. in Kitchener, soon graduating to taking over half of that basement and eventually finding our showroom space in the Downtown Waterloo. We’ve moved around in this building first co-habitating the family. We’ve really loved being in this building and we’re a big fan of the neighbourhood and the heritage qualities of the building itself. That said we’re pretty excited about starting a new chapter.

This is an exciting and strategically important move for the future of SBI as we will be occupying office space, show room and warehouse all in one location. The new space is currently an empty shell but it's going to be set up just the way we want it. We are relocating to a facility which will allow us to better serve our customers.  Our new facility will feature a warehouse which will be 150% larger than our current one, allowing us to stock more of the innovative products which have helped us grow and succeed across Canada. We are also upgrading our current showroom to create a "consciousness service centre" which will benefit customers who want to come in for lectures, Reiki and many other holistic therapies and services, called “The Rock Spa”. Stone carving, beading and jewellery making are complementary services to be implemented. Parking is readily accessible and generous on both sides of the building.

During this transition, all our operations will be working, except for the future additional services mentioned. There may be a partial interruption on or around August 31, 2011 to our retail operation due to the final transfer. The office, warehouse, mail and online orders will remain open to service your needs.

I dread the actual move, but I'm so eager to start settling into our new location.
