Thank You For Celebrating with Me

I want to thank everyone who attended my Launch Party.  Even with the last minute notice (four days) you all managed to make it down to help me open my new space.  The place as packed by 830pm with smiling faces! 
 
I have to especially thank all those who helped me with that evening:
- Darren and Chrisitan for bartending that evening and for only giving half pours ;)
- Zara and Linda for jumping behind the Chocolate counter
- Jess from Media Profile for getting the word out and my PR materials
 
It was a really fun evening and I hope that we will be able to do this again next year on my one year anniversary at 1584 Queen Street East.

Renovations for New Location

So I got access to the premises at the end of August, thinking that I could get all the renos completed for October 1st.  But little did I know that the last two weeks of August are a complete right off for all City employees and contractors.  Everyone is on vacation!  Several interviews and site visits take place during the first week of September and within days, we are in reno mode.

 
We are not in our final week:
  • Electrical 90% completed
  • Plumbing 100% completed
  • Architectural drawings and building permits - pending (AGH)!
  • Framing for new washroom and office completed
  • Drywall for new areas completed
  • Patch work completed

Still Needs to Be done:

  • Painting of all the rooms
  • Second coat of dry wall compound on the new walls and sanding
  • Ligtht fixtures
  • Final work for electrical
  • Moving of all commercial equiptment into the space
  • Dump all garbage at dump site..yuck!

Mohini Art Show

Kakayo and Mohini Art Show Debut

October 22, 2006

Kakayo Chocolate Company and Mohini Art Show was a fabulous hit!  With a glass of wine in one hand and a truffle in the other, the guests got to enjoy an afternoon of decadence.  The art work showcased Sam Crowther’s interpretation of Hinduism and it was hosted at Salon Daniel in Yorkville.  For more information about the truffles or the sensational artwork, please contact us at: info@kakayo.com.

 Let Kakayo titillate your palate and liberate your soul.  Our philosophy is to make a world of difference with one box of truffles at a time.
