Unionville store now hiring

Nothing can be more testing than to wait for the building permits. Until then, the store renovation will just be sitting pretty. However, many behind the scene activities are still taking place. Now is the time to start staffing. If you are a reliable, friendly and honest person, especially one who likes to keep things tidy and presentable, we would like to meet you! Interested party please send your resume to customerservice@frugostore.com.

Update on Frugo Unionville

Store design is finalized and given to the engineers. They will draft the mechanical drawings and submit to the city for permission to renovate. If you've never started a business before, you can never imagine how much expenses that are upfront and unrelated to the actual merchandise. Normally customers won't appreciate those small items - the layout of the store, the fixture, the signage, the plans required by the city which cost a few thousand dollars and then are stored away forever. With the economy alarms sounding everywhere and everyday, we are still forging ahead to build a space which should be useful and beautiful. We would like to make the ambiance a bit loose and relaxed, so that anyone would feel comfortable walking in. Hopefully we can start some basic demolition going in the next few days. Fall is our target date and we are aiming for it.

3 x More 50% off items. They just kept coming!

Quite frankly, people some time wonder if the retailers jack up the price before marking the discount to create an impression of tremendous savings. If you ask our customers, they can attest to you that at FRUGO we do not have time to play that kind of games, and we do get great deals from time to time. Because these are truly limited deals, we often have customers who regretted that they did not buy the items when they saw the sales. We feel sorry for them, but there is nothing we can do. Even we regretted some time that we didn't save some for our own staff. :(

FRUGO Unionville Started

Today marks the beginning of the second store in Unionville, Markham, a suburb which is just north of Toronto. Located on the corner of Hwy 7 and Warden Ave., adjacent to the famous FUTURE SHOP electronic box store, FRUGO Unionville's renovation has officially started today by the demolition crew taking down the existing partition walls and fixtures. This work should be completed in two days. The store will then be ready for the new face lift, transforming into an exotic and casual shopping hideout. We have high expectation on our designer Sam. Can't wait to see what he will come up with for this beautiful neighborhood.
