Merry Christmas

For the next 10 days we are planning to have our Minden store open everyday, so everyone gets a chance to shop for those last minute presents.
Meanwhile Steve and I are enjoying the warmth of Thailand.

One of the first things we did when we arrived here was to top up our roasted coffee.
We were lucky to have Kow Soi to help with the roasting again, along with her friend Ahm.

A few days later we took a trip to Sooks village to see how the coffee was growing for this season.
It looks like we'll be able to harvest soon.

Meanwhile Sooks mother stocks up on the fire wood. We are at quite a high altitude in Sooks village and it is quite chilly in the mornings.

The classic Christmas poinsetta flower is used for hedge rows in the village.
The slash of red through the fields is very dramatic.

A very Merry Christmas to you all from all of us at Bwana Johns

Popup Bwana Johns on the West Coast

We recently bought a building on the west coast and have been spending a bit of time there. In the small community we are in they had their annual Winterfest, so we decided to turn our living room into a popup Bwana Johns for a few days. It was a great way to meet our neighbours and I think they are ready to see more of us.



It was fun to see what we could do with no fixtures. From old laundry tubs to lengths of plywood on plastic tubs we somehow made it work. The blank walls were of course perfect for our art and photos. I think in the end it looked pretty good.
Now we are in Thailand enjoying the warm weather and getting ready to start production for next summer. It's a tough job.....

Bwana Johns has left the building

Yesterday saw the Haliburton store emptied out.

And the sign taken down.

It was all pretty sad to say good bye.
 But no worries we still live on in Minden. We will be open Fridays and Saturdays over the next few months.
Phone us at 705 457 3078 for more information.
You can find us at 150 Bobcaygeon Rd, Minden.

Closing Haliburton store

Our Haliburton store is now closed. It has been an incredible 30 years there.
However our Minden store continues to run. You can find us at 150 Bobcaygeon Rd, Minden.
For the next few months it'll be open Fridays and Saturdays 10am-5pm.
Our contact phone number is still the same - 705 457 3078.

Amazing sale soon to end

Our amazing 50% off everything in our stores has been incredible. What a success.

But the countdown has begun and it will end in 12 days. 

We close our Haliburton store on Thanksgiving Monday, and the sale will end.

After 30 years on the main street of Haliburton it will be hard to leave.

We will still be operating out of our Minden store, though the winter hours will be somewhat reduced. Call us at 705 457 3078 to check out the hours.

We will be operating at full speed again next summer in Minden. We are planning a few renovations there so it will be better than ever.

Amazing sale

After 30 years on the main street of Haliburton we are sadly closing our store . It will be closing after the Thanksgiving weekend. The good news is we are keeping the Minden location open so you can still find us.

Even better news is that EVERYTHING IN BOTH OUR STORES IS SELLING AT HALF PRICE UNTIL THEN.

Hope we see you there.
