We are excited to announce that YourOh! Deli is now open at Willoughby Town Centre and we asked Andrea and Vlad to share why they wanted to open an European deli in the Willoughby area.

Bound by the love of their daughter and their love of food, business partners Andrea Macikova and Vlad Forgac had tossed around the idea of opening their own deli. With Andrea working at a Polish deli for six years, her neighbour suggested she have a look at Willoughby Town Centre – which was right in the midst of an expansion. It was late August 2017 and it was love at first sight for both Andrea and Vlad who saw the potential in the area and their new venture…A Taste of Europe Deli.

With lease negotiations under way, attempts were made to register the name but anything with Europe, Euro, Europa or European was quickly rejected. Vlad became particularly frustrated and decided to get creative with the spelling – and YourOh! Deli was born. As a marketer, getting the chance to create a brand and market that brand, raised his level of interest in the project ten-fold.

While Andrea designed the interior and planned the ordering, the Guliker Group got to work on the drawings and Rob and Monika Molnar (Robo’s Reliable Renos) hunkered down on the build. With delays at every turn (the deli was scheduled to open Aug. 15th, 2018), Vlad and Andrea finally opened the doors on Dec. 27th, 2018 – with tremendous help from Andrea’s son, Martin.

The reception from the community has been overwhelming with many saying, “Finally, we thought you’d never open!” Andrea and Vlad were beginning to think the same. “It was particularly glorious and momentous to tear down the ugly, dusty brown paper and blue tape from the windows on the night of the 26th,” said Vlad.

Together with Martin, Andrea is back in her element greeting people and sharing her passion for European flavours.

“We look forward to being your neighbourhood, European deli for many years to come,” added Andrea.

Who doesn’t love decorating their home with the perfect piece?

We are delighted to welcome DLUX Treasures for the Home to Willoughby Town Centre.  This beautiful shop is owned by Tammy, who is excited to be part of the local community.

Tammy chose to open her store at Willoughby Town Centre because she loves the community feel and already feels a part of it, as she has regulars that stop by to say hi, and visit already.

Tammy’s dream was that she wanted to bring together and support local artists and women. With DLUX Treasure for the Home she is doing just that!  Her goal is to bring in as much Canadian and BC made products to feature local artists.

Have you had a chance to visit Seraphim Health & Wellness yet?

As soon as you walk in the doors of Seraphim Health & Wellness you are met with a feeling of relaxation and bliss. This beautifully laid out, inter-disciplinary clinic is located on the top floor, on the north west side, of the new building at B200 – 20689 Willoughby Town Centre Drive.

When we spoke with Amanda earlier this year, her vision was to bring together a team of Healthcare Practitioners to support the community in their daily living.

“If you run, we can help your body remain in peak condition. If you have bodily pains, we have a team that can help ease it away. If you have an injury, we will do our best to get you back to doing what you love. If you have a chronic condition, we can help you with long term management.”

This team is made up of Chiropractors, Registered Massage Therapists, and Physiotherapists. They also  hope to also have a Naturopath, Reflexologist, and a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner to offer health services options, such as acupuncture, for those who aren’t in a place to have manual therapy treatments due to intense pain or illness.

Please stop by and say hi!
