Adventures in Marmalade

13 March 2012

I’ve wanted make my own marmalade for a few years now. It’s one of those foods that bring back fond childhood memories of weekend mornings, gathered around the kitchen table to enjoy homemade scones with jams and marmalade made by grandma. Until now, making marmalade always seemed a little more daunting and complicated than say homemade applesauce or chutney. And it is, but only a little.

Free knife sharpening. (And flat tires.)

Have you ever taken your car to Kal-Tire to have a flat repaired? Well, we did, and man were they great. Fixed the flat, checked the other tires, invited us back to re-tighten the wheel, and then to top it off....it was free! That's right - Kal Tire offers free tire repair to anyone, if you bought the tires from them or not.

We were so impressed, and happy with the service (which these days doesn’t as happen as much as it could), we decided that we wanted to offer this type of value-added service in our business. But what?
