Cornwall is home to a new service – 123 Delivery. “It is just that easy – you call, we pick-up, we deliver,” said co-owner Stefan Feyrer. “Our focus is on business, for local deliveries as well as out of town.” “We currently go to Brockville, Kingston, Ottawa, Peace Tree Trade Centre on Corn- wall Island and Montreal with documents and various sized packages.” The business 123 Delivery has contracted with seven different local restaurants to sat- isfy their delivery needs, in addition to busi- ness deliveries. And 123 Delivery currently employs eight employees full time and/or part-time, and predicts that it will soon have up to 15 em- ployees. “We pride ourselves in offering reason- ably priced deliveries to your door”, said co- owner Trevor Walker. “Our employees are uniformed and, we guarantee that our service will be efficient, friendly and respectable.” Using cell phones and bluetooth com- munication technology for dispatch will provide prompt service and will ensure that the company operates within the law, the business assures. The delivery service will pick up at residences, or any business, pharmacy, convenience store, coffee shop or mall. “It is wonderful to see local entrepreneurs successfully creating jobs the way that 123 Delivery has, ” said Candy Pollard, business consultant with the Cornwall Business En- terprise Centre. “We commend both Mr. Walker and Mr. Feyrer for taking a business idea, developing and moving forward with it.” 123 Delivery operates on Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday to Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Thursday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. It also operates most statutory holidays from noon to 5 p.m. Deliveries: Easy As 123
The doors at Tiny Table have only been open for a week or so, but the new res- taurant in Downtown Cornwall is already starting to build a loyal following. “We were getting the sign up outside and people were already walking in,” said owner Ubon Sattaboot with a smile. “The response has been great so far.” Located at 11 Fourth Street West (across from the main city fire hall), Tiny Table spe- cializes in pho, a popular Vietnamese soup made with chicken broth, gluten-free rice noodles and pieces of chicken, beef or shrimp, complemented with a side of hot sauce and bean sprouts. The dessert menu features Mango with Sticky Rice, a classic Thai dish, as well as an Italian dish, Tiramisu. The unique menu reflects the restaurant owners themselves – Mrs. Sattaboot is originally from Thailand while her husband, Santo Carruba, hails from Italy. It’s a true family-run operation, with Mrs. Sattaboot’s son, Jamie Giamei, and his girl- friend, Tabby, helping out at the business on a daily basis. The great food is complemented by a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere with- in the restaurant. There are a few tables for dine-in guests and the restaurant also offers take-out. In addition, the front of the establishment is home to The Grey House, featuring a va- riety of homemade and imported products such as bracelets and necklaces. For Sattaboot, Tiny Table represents the realization of a dream that has been in the making for several years. She spent a considerable amount of time researching the potential of opening a Thai and Vietnamese restaurant in Cornwall. At first, Sattaboot was exploring an- other possible location before de- ciding to open the business in the current property, which they own. Sattaboot said the family moved to Corn- wall in 2000 in order for Jamie to complete his schooling, and they figured they would

live here for a year or so. “But we fell in love with the place,” she said. “We just couldn’t leave anymore.” Sattaboot said she’s thrilled to be located in Downtown Cornwall, which is quickly be- coming a dining destination thanks to the numerous restaurants in the area. “It’s like a little community within a com- munity,” she said. “Hopefully, we will be able to attract more people Downtown.” Tiny Table is open Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays from 11:30 am to 9 pm, Fri- days and Saturdays from 11:30 am to 10 pm and Sundays from 11:30 am to 8 pm.
