Alex, You should contact the weaving guild that bought the looms to see if they have handwoven table mats, napkins and towels you could sell. Local crafts! Display on wooden cloths drying racks. Just a thought. Good luck with the addition and the house! Denise
I think a display of vintage Christmas ornaments to sell would be great. I always go looking for them at antique stores but never find them. I have to go to garage sales or ebay to find them. and you can place vintage toys for sale around the tree too. But yeahhhh i never knew why antique stores never had a one stop shop for antique christmas decor. All the pretty pastel ornaments with the glitter are my favorite. Im sure you stumble upon vintage christmas decor and ornaments a lot. I used to work a boutique in Huntington Beach, Ca for several years. One thing people like is to create a whole gift with the things in the store. If you sell jam and crackers, sell a plate and knife set whether it be vintage or new. Don't have a ton in stock but have a few and they look really pretty as store decor too. I think vintage sets would be so cute. People also like to buy kitchen towels and put them in gift bags. One thing people asked for but we didn't have was baskets to put them in to create a gift basket. You can always get some baskets from estate sales and have cellophane on hand to create a gift basket for people to purchase. Also have some general cards on hand as well. Not a ton, just a generic ones. if you sell soaps, sell antique soap dishes as well. If you sell baking goods for cakes in the future, sell pyrex bowls to go along with it. Since you are selling local hunny, sell vintage hunny jars to go along with it. ya know make it fun and give the people what they want. alsooooo a cute display of vintage aprons to sell would be oh so cute. you should place the pots and dishes by the soaps and tea and not just have them seperate. You should have a few right next to the items as well. I wish you would sell vintage tea pots and dishes too though. It's such a shame if you dont
I got chills at the end when you started to name the Business Owners by name and showed their photos. What an asset you are to your local community, and a great example of a businessman who doesn't compromise his values! I really want to come visit - maybe next summer! - Christy from Texas :)
I agree, in fact, I got a little tear in my eyes watching that part and the pride Alexander showed to represent them in his new store. Congratulations Alexander, I wish you a great success with your new business.
Those photos of the business owners were great. Maybe they could be part of the display so your customers connect with them the way you have and as we now have.
My experience has been that inspectors do not like extension cords, Alex. The charging station was not a problem, so congratulations on your new addition!
Time for a party for the people whose products you named. And while you’re at it, get the media in to tell the local products story, ask the Mayor or planning people to come in for a champagne and make a bit of a love fest/dog and pony show to celebrate small business in Edmonton. Congrats!🎊🎈🎉
Wow, Alex! No coincidence! Truck gracefully stepped aside to have you drive the Rolls and have it parked out front to perfectly match your new store colors!!! 🍁🍂🍁
IT IS BEAUTIFUL! aS IS YOUR NEW HOME! iF i COULD GO TO cANAD (from Arkansas 0 i would have #1 visit would be Edmonton and CURIOSITY INC.! I never can, I am 83 and don't get out much any more. CONGRATULATIONS on all your achuevements - and there are many and they are impressive. My very best wishes to and for you and your family. I appreciate the tea pots, I have collected tea pots for years, I think they are lovely.
Along with about the product cards have cards introducing the people behind the products and an old-timey "Locally Made" sign on the top of the display cabinet .
You might consider stocking some empty baskets so people can make gift baskets of your market stuff for gifts for the holidays. They can fill with local foods and products plus fun stuff from your store! ETA maybe also some colored cello wrap and ribbons too maybe gift cards
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALEX!! Thought+dream+goal=reality! Your shop is gorgeous and I love all the products you’re selling. It would be so much fun for me to spend a day or two in both shops, there’s so much to see. Every time I see that beautiful tile floor it makes me want a room of it. One day I’d love to visit, shop and hang out a while. Again, congratulations on passing inspection and opening for business. My best to you, Melissa and those great kids of yours. 👏🏼😊
@@CuriosityIncorporated you need motivation? You ARE MOTIVATION! Any song you feel like singing would be great. I don’t know if you know them but 2 of my favorite “ dads songs” are FLESH AND BLOOD and HOME OF THE BLUES. Oldies but great ones he wrote.
So cool, in time to open for Christmas shopping and people can buy all the local goods. Greetings from New Zealand, midday Thursday here. Good luck with all the people in your supercool space.
When you were walking through I thought of the old mercantile with the man ( or woman) with the feather duster . It made want to cry tears of joy for you because I understood that your dream was more than just another goal . I’m so very proud of you Alex .
I really admire you! You know what you want, and are disciplined enough to take the needed steps to make your dreams/goals a reality. You are an inspiration! So happy things are going well for you!!
Congratulations! I love that you are supporting not only local companies, but supporting friends still. That’s the biggest success in your life, the love not only for family, but also your love for friends and even people you hardly know. Love and caring is your success.
There is nothing better then being told “ well you can’t do that! “ or “ it can’t be done!” Then knowing that yes in fact that it CAN. Be done and you are the one that follows through and does it! ❤️ So very proud of your persistence.
They have umbrella there (though not red one) during summer but you really don't need one during winter. :) It would just break in winds and be damp of rain and later snow, so in spring it would be moldy.
@@magicofshootingstar I guess I should have specified Spring/Summer for those who don't know I have made the suggestion before-to do it next year...Alexander has a lot on his plate, so I was just reminding him.
BEST NEWS I HAVE HEARD !!!!🙏 Congratulations it is so exciting !! I can hear CHEERS around the world !!! ...... Big Thanks to Melissa, Stephen, Jason and Abby !! All the hard work you did helped your Father reach another Goal !!! Happy DaYS ARE FOR ALL OF YOU !!!
Congratulations, Alexander! You deserve all the success you have. You work so hard and have helped so many that it does my heart good to see you do so well.
Hi Alex 🙋🏽. WE don't know what you're going to do from one minute to the next ‼️😃. But I WILL Tell You THIS, IF YOUR DAD WAS STILL here, HE WOULD REALLY BE PROUD OF YOU AND WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME ‼️ ONE THING I CAN SAY IS YOU'RE PERSISTENT ‼️‼️ THE STORE'S ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE COMPLETION OF YOUR LOVELY HOME ‼️ YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ENJOY THE REST OF YOUR DAY. YOU DESERVE IT. BYE FOR NOW 🙋🏽✝️🛐☮️💟🙏❤️.

Love the local products. Even the labels are unique. You can tell right away these are not mass-produced grocery store products. Wish I could visit. But I am an American living in Mexico.
You should frame the plans for your store and hang them and the "ugly sign" up, in the back of your new store, or utility area, as a constant reminder of what you accomplished with very hard work, persistence, and the love of family and friends. Congratulations and best wishes!
Alex I love the shop, seriously it’s beautiful! There is one thing you might want to consider and that’s an electric teapot, (if the Keurig is used for tea, it’ll taste like coffee) there’s nothing better than a hot cup of tea for us tea lovers. With all your teas it would be a nice mix.
I love the curio cabinet feel of the antique shop, and the retro garage vibe of the new space. Very cool. Everything curated by Alexander and Melissa. I'd like to see a camera pan of the two buildings from across the street, especially since the construction sign is gone. Congratulations!
Alex you are so LOVABLE !!! You are kind, sensitive, passionate and caring with all that you hold dear in your life from your work, community, friends and family and yes all of us who are blessed to have discovered your TH-cam channel. Sending you and your family blessings and love for this new chapter in the story of your life. Be Well ... "Bye for Now" Sue from Norfolk,Virginia
Congratulations once again Alexander and Melissa! The new store space looks great! Also thank you again for the opportunity to work alongside you on this project Alex. It was a pleasure to do so, I enjoyed bringing your unique design concept to life. My family and I will be sure to stop by to do some shopping to support local this upcoming holiday season.
Excellent!! Your goal and dream has been achieved! Sure wish I could travel to your fine city of Edmonton, but watching your TH-cam video almost makes us feel like we are there.
You worked so hard to get this done, and it looks great and inviting.. too bad I may never get to shop there, but I can at less dream that I'm there.. I'm 80 yrs. young and live in S. Carolina its a little bit of a drive for me.... I'm so happy for your dream has come true...
Each time I see one of your share moments it makes me feel so humble to see that you are so giving and thoughtful for others and just one heck of a deserving person and family. Your love shows in all you do....thank you for being who you are ...you are a treasure ...........!
Congratulations to you Alex, your family and friends and all who made this dream come true for you!! Couldn't be more thrilled for all involved. A lot of patience, ups and down, but it makes the appreciation even stronger!! Onto the house... 😀
I’ve been watching your TH-cam episodes for the past week everyday and night-I couldn’t stop! Not just because I like and collect antiques for decades, finally find someone understands the REAL values hidden in the artworks, but more because of your appreciation to life and to everyone encounters your life as a human being. This one, has made me in tears in the end. God bless you, Alex. I hope more successful men on the earth like you. Best wishes to you and your loving family, Eli from Japan
Wow !!! It has been a long haul ............but you did it ! It's a beautiful addition to your business . All the best wished for you and your family Alex ; you've worked hard to accomplish it . Now have a truly grand opening !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!!!! Over the moon for you, Alexander. I can't WAIT to visit.. I'll be taking the Via Rail Canadian from Toronto, just to visit you and your store! Hopefully next September.
Congratulations! WHOOOP WHOOP! Another dream /goal finalized! You and Melissa rock. Here's wishing you more success and prosperity. . I've enjoyed watching the start to finish. Wish I lived there, I'd visit it.:-) And it's really great that you help support your local crafters. Makes me wish I were young and able enough to do that in our small city (6000 ish_) here in the Midwest.
Add a stack of inexpensive baskets to the new room. That way people can put together gift baskets.
What a great idea! Especially with Christmas just around the corner!
Great gift idea for other special occasions.
Good call!
I would love to use old baskets for shopping!
What an excellent idea!

The neighborhood value of property has increased dramatically higher rates because of Alexander.
It gives a great European Elegance to the surroundings. The store will be a tourist destination. Edmonton should give Alexander Archbold the keys to the city. BRAVO 👏!!!
Merry Christmas, higher taxes for all!
To my European eyes the two stores look very Western/American, not European at all :)
@@MrGrumpyGills Those "western/American" stores were built by Europeans who migrated west in wagons, including to Canada.
English, Irish, Italian, French, German, Scottish, Spanish, Portuguese, migrated to the promised land called America. They built America with a little bit of home with what surrounded them in nature.
The inside of Curiosity Inc. And the extension CONTENTS for sale bring the European Elegance presentation together with new innovation to the neighborhood. Check your eyes for glaucoma and see beyond what you see.

Alex,
You should contact the weaving guild that bought the looms to see if they have handwoven table mats, napkins and towels you could sell. Local crafts! Display on wooden cloths drying racks.
Just a thought. Good luck with the addition and the house!

You could get life size displays of the people...like Pickle Bob. ( I think it was Bob...)
Congratulations! A long way since the million dollar fire hydrant!
As a lifelong retail person, and always fan of retail spaces, that is a well-designed and beautifully merchandised store. Pleased to see you succeed.
Exactly. Thank Odin that a bland, beige soulless retail corporate strip mall wasn't put there before Alex bought the building.
Congratulations!! Results after all your efforts. Thanks for taking us along with you on the journey.

The store is so inviting. That piano bar is perfect compliment ,thank you Josh. The place will be the place to be.
I've thought about all the local people who will meet their friends there, meet someone to sell something they advertised, or meet for a first date.
“The place to be”…. Right?! I want it to be like “CHEERS” 🎶 where everybody knows🎶 your🎶 name 😁😁😁
