www.oakvillebeaver.com The Oakville Beaver Weekend, Saturday October 27, 2007 - 29 KERR STREET/CENTRAL Tour the world in a day in Kerr Street Village Oakville's Kerr Street downtown community is being revamped towards a new branding of Kerr Village. Kerr Street encourages people to "Tour the World in a Day" on its multicultural strip where one can literally eat in 35 countries according to Richard Messer, Chair of the Kerr Village BIA. Oakville is steadily growing northward. "Main streets can easily get abandoned when urban sprawl happens", says Messer. Kerr Street is increasingly getting its share of new shop tenants, and is taking an active interest in its improvements now more than ever. Over the past year, several visual improvements within Kerr Village have added to the ambiance of the community. More than 40 trees lining Kerr Street have lights wrapped around them, providing year round lighting for visitors to the Village. Kerrent Happenings In The Village... · 13th Annual Tree Lighting!

Factory Tile - quality products at wholesale prices Factory Tile Depot is as the name implies. Tile and natural stone showcased in immense proportions at wholesale prices. Four short years ago, Dan Welland opened his first store in Mississauga to quickly discover he needed more space to keep up with customer demand for his products! Marketing minded, Dan excelled at the University of Guelph to become a young and successful entrepreneur. "I've always admired people who run their own businesses," he explains. "The idea of bringing your product/service to the market and seeing the client's positive reaction is very satisfying to me." Dan brainstormed the Factory Tile Depot concept based on a family tile distribution business in the U.K. Because of this unique relationship, he has access to a huge amount of product. This enables Dan to eliminate the `middle man' and sell imported quality tiles at direct pricing from factory to consumer. The new Oakville location boasts 11,000 sq. feet of gorgeous tile displays. There are three separate showrooms, one entirely devoted to the `largest backsplash selection in Oakville'. Contrary to its name, the `depot' ambiance is inviting, warm, and consumer friendly. Staff are not only product trained but skilled in design and the latest trends. "We encourage clients to bring in their colour schemes, so that we can help put a package together including layout, size, and practicality for the space." The selection of products is vast and encompasses the newest in style and design, local and from abroad. Extensive is the choice of travertine, tumbled marble, slate, glass, ceramic and porcelain. "We are able to price lower than any other competitor due to the factory direct relationship with the U.K.," says Dan. " Equally important it allows our stock to be of such proportion we can usually provide material within 1-3 days." In North America, tiles have never been as popular in home or commercial décor as they are today. To be current you must integrate a stylish or classic tile into your design plans. Dan Welland knew this. He had a vision and went for it...and Oakville is particularly happy he did! Need Help Choosing Tile? See our design team! Looking for something different? You'll find it here.
