Arnprior Optical’s Leanne Kernighan believes small business can thrive, even in periods of adversity.
She’s proven it by not only opening during the pandemic- but also expanding her premises at the corner of John Street North and Elgin.
Kernighan is referring to the once-upon-a-time Stedmans store that occupied the street corner.
The Arnprior Optical owner says successes stem from offering services and inventory you can’t find elsewhere.
Were Arnprior Optical part of a chain, she would be restricted in the frames she’d be able to offer patrons.
Her thoughts on Small Business Week?
Arnprior Optical, 106 John Street North; open Monday to Friday 9AM to 5:30; Saturday, 10 to 3 and closed Sunday.
