At the time, some of her friends were not sure if opening a store on Bronte Road close to the harbour would give her longevity in business since they thought it wasn't the busiest shopping area in Oakville. She proved them wrong and after just one year in business, Goodnight Goodmorning received the New Business of the Year award. Since then the store was voted the best lingerie store in Oakville year after year. Not being located in a busy downtown Oakville area wasn't such a disadvantage after all! Bronte Harbour became the perfect spot for Goodnight Goodmorning. Anya's professionalism, excellent customer service and superb selection of product became a trademark of the store and put Goodnight Goodmorning on the map as a destination store for women shopping for swimsuits, sleepwear, or simply being fitted for a great bra. In the beginning, Goodnight Goodmorning consisted of a fashion design studio in the back and a retail store in the front. Anya sold her designs as well as the designs of fellow fashion designers in her store. Lingerie soon became the prime focus of Goodnight Goodmorning, as Anya was trained in her college years as a bra fitter. Anya's dream of f owning a successful f business soon became a reality. Success did not come easy however, as Anya worked hard every day, selling by day and designing after hours. As Goodnight Goodmorning's reputation and clientele grew, the need for space also grew. The store was transformed and Anya gave up her studio space to make room for a small office and the expansion of the fitting rooms area. More staff was also needed and over time, Anya created her team of bra fitters including herself, Ana Maria, Lorna and Mary. Now 14 years later, Goodnight Goodmorning is a very busy store and yet always finds time to support others and the community. Since Anya opened the store every year she has supported various charities including the Halton Women's Place, Run for the Cure, Princess Margaret Hospital and more. Today, Goodnight Goodmorning is an extremely successful business and has a long list of loyal clientele who appreciate her huge selection of bras, swimwear and sleepwear the best in the area! Anya is a kind, confident and extremely stylish woman and customers love her for that as well as her fabulous sense of humour!
