PAGE 12 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY MARCH 9, 1988 Chronicle Staff "I was once telephoned and asked if my store, Eggs & Tricity was a fast food restaurant speciaâ€" lizing in eggs," owner Lyne Deâ€" llandrea said with a laugh. It‘s not. The boutique, on 26 Regina St. N., is a "lifestyle boutique‘", she said, which emphasizes individuâ€" ality through unique, often whimâ€" sical or Victorian, antiques, gifts, decorations or clothing. "I‘ve always been willing to try something different and look difâ€" ferent â€" I guess I‘m encouraging others to do the same," Dellanâ€" drea commented. Designer cloâ€" thing is "so well represented" that individuality is hard to achieve. Her clothing â€" all of which she insists has French seams â€" may be vintage, imâ€" ported from Europe, or customâ€" made incorporating both new and old ideas and designs. "And it‘s not all that expenâ€" sive," she said. Customâ€"made clothing for women and children allows for design input and a perfect fit. Vintage clothing reâ€" quires special care, and Dellanâ€" drea will share tips she learned in Europe. Dresses start at about $75, handâ€"knit sweaters about $50, and lace collars at $18. Antiques â€" furniture, tin canisâ€" ters and crockery â€" are available. Dellandrea suggests buying "real antiques" is more practical than buying factory _ reproductions. "An antique is usually a lot less than a factory piece and it keeps appreciating in value (compared to a new piece) which depreciates as soon as it leaves the store." Most of the stock is handâ€"picked by Dellandrea who looks for "new and unusual or old and unusual" ideas in her rather extensive travels. "I like to see other shops," she said, but not the same items in each. "I dare to be different." For children there are reproducâ€" tions of Earnest Nister books, first published in the 1890s as well as gift boxes, puzzles, toys and even furniture. Household items include crockâ€" ery, antique canisters, handmade sheets and pillows, cushions, potâ€" pourri, handkerchiefs, and a variâ€" ety of gift ideas and decorations, made locally to "rather exacting standards®". Unique Eggs & Tricity emphasizes individuality New Fast Food‘88 franchise opened A T.G. Quickly‘s fast food franchise opened March 5 at 363 King St. N. Kenneth Tucker, viceâ€"president of marketing and franchise sales said the Waterloo location was chosen because it is one of Canada‘s fastest growing and most progressive communities. ‘‘We wanted to be at the forefront of that growth." Art and Barbara Lindop hold the franchise. Art is an Air Canada pilot, and RBarbara a former real estage agent. Art believes "conâ€" sumers are lookini'f\ovr more variety in the fast food market and I know that there is a growing appreciation for quality of ‘nutrition. The concept of T.G. Quickley‘s meets these needs, directly, but with the flexibility to meet the future demands of our busy lifestyle. _ Additional outlets are planned for summer opening in Kitchener, Guelph and Cambridge. Emerald Limousine moves location Emerald Limousine has moved to 180 Weber St. N. in Waterloo, from its former address on Colby Drive. ‘"We outgrew our last location as we added more limousines to our fleet," said Mike McAllister who holds the franchise for Kitchenerâ€"Waterloo and Guelph. _ _ mpc-d-.;;whâ€"mauuabhfabmiw gndpqmnlununflunflutofuirpa‘t Lyne Dellandrea holds a locallyâ€"made child‘s dress in her store Eg?s & Tricity, which is filled with whimsical romantic items of all kinds. Customers "tend to be reguâ€" lars" Dellandrea noted, and said she encourages people to come in and browse so they can see everyâ€" thing. Her 5â€"yearâ€"old son helps in the store which "looks fragile but is kidâ€"proof‘. Eggs & Tricity opened in June 1986 and while Delandrea had no available figures she said busiâ€" ness had increased steadily and "Christmasâ€"time was phenomeâ€" nal" Profits are returned to the store Business isn‘t new to Dellanâ€" drea, who had an antique store in Toronto, and later a designerâ€"cloâ€" thing store.

Named "Two Plus Five Certified", the program doubles the warranty protection on every new home built by Ver({:me. and offers more protection than legally required, said president John Verdone. "Effective immediately, every new Verdone homeowner will enjoy a full two year warranty on workmanship and materials plus a five year major xDstructural warranty," he said. The program will also apply to Verdone homebuyâ€" ers who have bought since January 1, 1988. Verdone, who is also a director of the Ontario Home Builder‘s Association, believes that the recent Toronto housing boom has had an adverse effect on builderâ€"homebuyer relations. ‘"‘The issue of shoddy workmanship, late closings and poor afterâ€"sales service has always been a concern. However, it is the commitment of Verdone Homes to provide comprehensive quality controls so that our homebuyers receive the proper proâ€"active service expected â€" thus two plus five certified."
