A year ago this month Lisa Casey and Tom Guitard took over Front Porch Mercantile Moncton.

One year.

Time flies.

The New Front Porch Mercantile is coming along

Getting started

I sold Lisa and Tom the Moncton franchise (my baby) so I was able to move to Lunenburg NS to do my thing with Front Porch Mercantile there, continue my coaching and paint retailer training and work more closely with my paint brands. I haven’t regretted it for one single tiny itty bitty second. Although I’m still involved in the creative side of things, the direction of Front Porch Mercantile overall and the marketing etc, it’s Lisa and Tom that have taken Front Porch Mercantile Moncton and elevated it to the beautiful space it is today.

Lisa had a dream and a vision and took my “baby” and ran with it. They are raising that baby right!

They started with the foundation we built over the years and grew it what it is today. I am so grateful. I think Greater Moncton and our customers are too!

Lisa and Tom took a big gamble to pack up their lives in Toronto and move to Moncton to build a creative and new life in Moncton. I think we are all so inspried and grateful to them.

We as a team cannot begin to thank our customers old and new for their continued support, word of mouth sharing, the kind words, and shopping with us. Without our loyal amazing customers, there would be no Front Porch Mercantile creative community. For that we thank you.

I still can’t believe it’s been a year. Time flies, yet it seems like it’s been forever because it’s so beautiful and perfect and Lisa is 100% in her element.

Opening Day 2017

Lisa didn’t want any fanfare for the 1-year mark of their taking over, she didn’t want to confuse everyone with the anniversary of Front Porch Mercantile, but, heck, we need to celebrate their success!

  2. Cingratulations are in order to Tom and Lisa and their entire team, way to go and continued success. Perhaps some day you will make it back here and drop in and see us (now retired) in Collingwood. I have so many fond memories of us all working in numerable trade shows all across our wonderful country. It is wonderful to see you so happy and enjoying life and career in Moncton. All the best my friends and of course especially on this day the 17th of March, Slainte.
