KEMPTVILLE, ONT. A new initiative in North Grenville is hoping to revive tourism across the municipality, as one company s pandemic success is a gigantic factor in the plan. The Best Adirondack Chair Company in Kemptville has seen sales surge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before COVID hit, we had five full-time employees and now we have over 20, said President Francois Bruneau. Last year, we sold over 5,000 chairs all over the world, as far away as New Zealand, Japan, all over Europe, Bruneau said. Our business more than doubled. The company has been located in Kemptville for eight years, and it s been building high quality, hand-crafted furniture for over 65 years.

A new initiative is bringing big Adirondack chairs to help support small businesses in North Grenville.
The Best Adirondack Chair Company announced last week that they are building and installing large chairs across North Grenville, to represent the perseverance and resilience among businesses and residents through COVID-19.
Vice President of Sales and Chief Development Officer Dina Elatawi says the initiative is all part of the North Grenville Business Revival Program.
“We decided that we wanted to try and help other small businesses,” Elatawi said. “As time went on, we saw other businesses struggling, and how difficult it was, especially with restaurants, small stores and boutiques closing down, it broke our hearts because we know what it’s like as small business owners.”
