Like many folks, partners Deborah Corner and Jo-Anne Bergeron were laid off during the pandemic. They had always dreamed of opening their own business but weren’t sure what to do. It turns out the answer to their entrepreneurial conundrum lay right in their lap — on a wooden puzzle board.
Bergeron’s mom instilled in her a love of the hobby, and Corner and Bergeron had an entire table dedicated to puzzling at a previous house. “I just love the challenge of putting a puzzle together,” Bergeron says. “I’ll choose one that interests me, then I put the box aside and work on it without referring to the image. Deb thinks this is a little crazy.
They found shopping for truly showstopping puzzles challenging, so, they wondered, why not sell those beauties themselves? “We knew puzzles were gaining popularity during the pandemic, but it was hard to find unique, small-brand, modern puzzles in one space,” Bergeron says. “We wanted to offer that with the focus being on the art and supporting fresh new brands.
There’s a puzzle for every taste, from round puzzles and wooden puzzles to double-sided and gradient ones. There are micro-puzzles as well as whopping 5,000-piece puzzles. “People love to puzzle for all sorts of reasons,” Corner says. “Some people love a challenge and problem-solving, some are drawn to a particular image, and there is such a sense of satisfaction in completing a puzzle.”
