Worth a Second Look is currently closed as we move locations
Worth a Second Look is moving to a new location at 37 Market Lane over the next month!
We are excited to recreate Worth a Second Look at it's new location in Downtown Kitchener near the Farmers Market.
The move is part of a plan to repurpose the 97 Victoria St. N. property by creating 44 apartment units for those without housing and to rebuild St. John's Kitchen. Please visit Making Home to learn more.
To make this possible, Worth a Second Look is moving to the Market Lane building and Recycle Cycles is moving to 256 King E..
All this means we need to close down for about a month, while we relocate, and re-establish ourselves in our new location.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we will be back and reorganized in exciting new ways to welcome you.
Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you again!
