They will keep you informed and make sure you have speedy repairs. They meet all standards and qualifi cations for Direct Repair and offer towing services, rental as-sistance and can answer any questions you have about
your insurance claim.

Ian Ringrose voted best denturist after 36 years
Since being established in 1974, the Ringrose Denture Clinic has made thousands of dentures and sent home thousands of satisfi ed customers.
“We continue to strive to remain at the forefront of denture fabrication through continuing education and research and through the application of unique clinical procedures,” says owner Ian Ringrose.
Ringrose is an expert in the design, construction, insertion and adjustment of removable dentures, as well as implant-supported dentures. That, along with his expertise, meticu-lousness and professionalism are the reasons he won the dia-mond award for the Best Denturist category in the Renfrew Mercury’s Readers Choice Awards for a second straight year.
“Ninety-fi ve per cent of our customers are referred to us by satisfi ed customers,” says Ringrose, adding that the clinic’s friendly, experienced staff and after-service care continue to bring people back.
The professional staff at Ringrose Denture Clinic personally han-dles every step in the construction of customers’ dentures. There is even an on-site laboratory to produce personalized dentures.
“I love what I do because it’s satisfying to see the change I can make in people’s lives,” Ringrose says. “The difference quality dentures can make to a person’s overall health is remarkable.”
Ringrose was surprised and grateful when he found out he had been nominated as Best Denturist by Metroland readers. “The fact that people voted for us tells us that we are doing a job that people want us to do and they appreciate what we do.” We are humbled by the fact that people appreciate our services.
Ian has recently completed a course in “Advanced Functional Dentistry - The Power of Physiologic Based Occlusion” at the esteemed Las Vegas Institute.
Ringrose Denture Clinic is located at 217 Plaunt St. N. For more information, please phone 613-432-4831
McGregor’s Produce growing strong since 1980
McGregor’s Produce has been growing and selling fruits and vegetables for the past 30 years on the farm that has been in the family since 1856, Ian and Deb, both Guelph agriculture graduates, along with Cameron and Mandy, represent the third generation who are currently fol-lowing their father and grandparent’s family tradition. Deb confi dently states, “We hope to continue providing quality local food to consumers for generations to come.” The McGregor family are com-mitted to providing fresh wholesome
produce to our neighbours as far away as Ottawa. You can fi nd our produce for sale at roadside stands and farmers’ markets throughout the Ottawa Valley, includ-ing our Flagship Stand in Renfrew and our Farm (351 Lochwinnoch Road). Our farming practices refl ect our long trad-ition of respect for the land and working together as a family. We also value our connection with the long-established farm community of Lochwinnoch and are strong supporters of local initiatives and fundraising efforts.
Renfrew Pizzeria strong on communityDonald and Julie Rodgers of Renfrew Piz-zeria would like to thank the readers for choosing us as the Diamond award winner for best pizza, two years running. Also, for voting us Platinum for best wings, this was a nice surprise. As a small business we fi rmly believe in helping out the community in any way possible from team sponsorship, dona-tions, to many charities and we take an active part in fundraisers. Our chief goal is to pro-vide quality food backed by prompt effi cient service. Your satisfaction with our products and services is our primary concern. Over the years it is our customers’ respect that has
made Renfrew Pizzeria successful. We hope you will understand, that for the fi rst time in four years our prices will be going up. We hope that Renfrew and surrounding area will continue to support us when our new menu comes out. We have extended our menu as well, we have added medium gluten free pizza and a new gluten free section. We also offer whole wheat dough on all sizes. The next time you order food, don’t deny yourself the best PIZZA in town. Hope to hear from you soon. Watch for our new menu in your mailbox in the near future. If you could have the best pizza... why wouldn’t you...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my customers for helping me im-prove my business so I can better serve their needs. I have entered into my 3rd year owning the store and have put in a lot of hours in the process. My staff and I take pride in being able to supply people with quality hunting and fi shing supplies along with what knowledge we can offer and recognition for these efforts is always greatly appreciated. We are currently in the process of expand-ing our Sporting Goods space so that we
may carry a more in depth specialized in-ventory. We have recently partnered with Bluewave Energy this year, which is a Shell Distributor. This opportunity has opened some new doors for us to help better serve the valley with our full serve gas and diesel location. Through this process, we have chosen to be branded Race Trac Gas, which is a popular name in western Canada, as well as south of the border. They will be moving to their new building here this fall, which we are currently working on, and look forward to our grand opening and fu-ture business together.
Hot Dog! Odi’s Kingburger wins 4 awardsThere’s only one king when it comes to hamburgers and hot dogs in the Renfrew area: Odi’s Kingburger. The restaurant garnered two Diamond awards in the hamburger & hotdog categories, as well as two Platinum awards for fi sh & chips, and fries, in the 2010 Readers’ Choice Awards. “We really appre-ciate the fact we were chosen,” said Odi Audette, owner of Odi’s Kingburger. Audette said customers like the hamburgers because of the fact they use fresh ground hamburger and a specialty sauce that is popular. Despite winning in the hamburger, hot dog, fi sh & chips, and fries categories, Audette said some of the customers’ favourite menu items are the chicken fi ngers, and milkshakes that are offered in 10 different fl avours. “They are a couple of the
most poular items here,” he said. Odi’s Kingburger has been open since 1971, and Audette has owned the restaruant since 1973. The feedback he gets from the pubic reassures the nine staff that they are on the right track. “Just keep doing what you’re doing,” and “we’re glad you’re still here,” are just a few of the comments they usually hear. Audette said the staff has a lot to do with the awards they win. He also doesn’t have any plans to stop anytime soon. “I don’t want to retire,” he said. “I enjoy it. I enjoy the customers. I enjoy coming here to work.” Odi’s Kingburger is located at 546 Stewart St. It is open Sunday to Wednesday from 11am to 8pm, and Thursday to Saturday from 11am to 9pm. 613-432-6623.
Dragonfl y stays on course with awardsDragonfl y Golf Links has got your golfi ng needs down to a tee. The Renfrew-area golf course was the Diamond winner in the cat-egories of golf course, driving range, and golf store in the Readers’ Choice Awards. “It re-affi rms the work we’ve done here,” said club professional Kevin Brown, adding customer service is one of the reasons they took home so much hardware. “We go out of our way to look after our customers. We have a friendly staff and a laid-back atmosphere.” Located at 955 Opeongo Rd., Dragonfl y offers an 18 hole course, a driving range and a clubhouse. Also on site is a 150-person tent that was added to
the course in 2008 to allow a place for dinners, functions and weddings. “There’s been a lot of time and money put into the golf course,” said Brown. “We maintain that we have the best greens around.” A golfer doesn’t need a mem-bership to play at Dragonfl y. “When a golfer in town wants to hit golf balls, this is where they come,” he said. The golf course is also success-ful when it comes to helping out the commun-ity. They are generally booked when it comes to tournaments. To book an appointment, call 613-432-3838, or toll-free at 1-888-275-3838. For more information, visit them online at www.dragonfl ygolf.com
Opened in 1938, Aikenhead’s Drugstore, owned by Sheila Kemp, is Renfrew’s only independently-owned pharmacy. With its cheery bright red façade in the middle of town, it’s hard to miss.
“We’ve been an independent store for 72 years,” says Kemp. “We strive to provide excellent and personalized patient care. Aikenhead’s has fi ve well trained pharma-cists on staff, including a Certifi ed Diabetes Educator and a Certifi ed Geriatric Pharmacist.” Aikenhead’s provides prompt and individual service. Its friendly and courteous staff is always available to answer any questions custom-ers may have. It’s no wonder it has won the Diamond Award in both the pharmacist and drugstore categories.
Aikenhead’s is also the winner of the Gold Award for Cards, Stationary, and Gifts. This historic, small town drugstore offers a welcoming atmosphere along with a good selection of Laura Secord chocolates, Hallmark
cards and a variety of giftware.
While they voted her store the number one drugstore, Kemp wants to let each of her customers know they are her number one priority. She makes sure she stays highly involved in the community through the Renfrew Rotary Club, the Bonnechere Manor Foundation & the Renfrew Tennis Club. Aikenhead’s supports the community by sponsoring sports teams, local charities, and fundraising events. Aikenhead’s major event is the Aikenhead’s Hos-pice Classic, a golf tournament that supports the Ren-frew Hospice. Staff also canvass, organize bake sales and participate in donation drives for the many causes in the Renfrew & area community.
Aikenhead’s Drugstore is located in downtown Renfrew at 226 Raglan St., near the post offi ce. The store can also be reached at 613-432-8866.

24 Awards for WalmartThe Renfrew Walmart took home 24 awards from the Readers’ Choice Awards. Walmart won Dia-mond awards in bedding and cards; stationary & gifts categories, Platinum in the bicycle, bulk food, camera, children’s clothing, electronics, offi ce fur-niture/supplies, patio furniture, and photography & photo equipment categories, and Gold in the drug store, gardening, grocery, lighting, men’s clothing & accessories, paint & decorating, party supplies, pet store, pharmacist, shoes, sporting goods, vacuums, and window covering categories. “It feels amazing,” said Vito Molfetta, store man-ager of the Renfrew Walmart. “We do our best to offer the best customer service. We’re very proud of what we do.” He was pleased with the fact that
the awards show Walmart can be successful in both the merchandise, and service areas. Molfetta said they won so many awards because of one main reason: the customers. “The people matter,” he said. “The customers matter and the people here care.” Customer service is something that is stressed to all 250 employees from the time they are fi rst hired and all throughout their employ-ment at Walmart. “We talk about it with every-body, on an ongoing basis,” explained Molfetta. “Of what we do well and how we can do better.

Stop the presses! Renfrew Printing WinsThe Readers’ Choice Diamond award for print shop was awarded to Renfrew Printing, a steadfast family business located on Renfrew’s main street for 39 years. Owner Bill McAdam says it is especially gratifying to be recog-nized by the very people who keep the business going - the customers. “I’m quite pleased with that because it’s nice to have the customers’ recognition,” says Mc-Adam. “We try to provide quality at a good price with friendly service” says McAdam. “I guess it works.” McAdam has witnessed much change over the years, including the onset of technology. Computers changed the industry and now, along with offset printing, Ren-frew Printing offers digital printing as well. The business has adapted to the changing of the times and made the necessary adjustments to keep customers happy.
The shop offers a range of printing services as well as faxing, photocopying, laminating, graphic design and binding. Printing projects run the gamut from business cards and envelopes to brochures. The business is a fam-ily affair with McAdam’s wife, Deja, daughter Colleen and nephew Paul working at the shop, along with Susan Verch, Bill Campbell, Brian Proulx and Carmel Panesar. McAdam was born and raised in Renfrew. He spent 30 years at Renfrew Collegiate Institute teaching business subjects. “I think working in a small town is good.” says McAdam. “You get to know the people who come in.” Quite a bit of Renfrew Printing’s business comes from re-peat customers, relationships he and staff have created with clients over the years. Renfrew Printing is located at 173 Raglan St. S., Downtown Renfrew

The WarehouseYour source for all party & gift needs!Everyone loves a party!! And there’s no better place to get the party started than the Warehouse. Brothers James and Chris Briscoe celebrated their third anniversary earlier this month. “We carry supplies for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, you name it,” says James. “We’re the largest party supplier in town.” The Warehouse is known for size and selection, but its reputation has also grown beyond expectations. The brothers’ store has been named the Diamond Award winner in the Renfrew Mercury’s 2010 Readers’ Choice Award in the Party Supplies category. “We’re defi nitely pleased to have been chosen,” James says. “We have price, selection and service,” he says. “We listen to what customers want and then go out and stock it. We can offer variety. Everyone offers balloons, and they might have 10 different types. We have hundreds, and people like that variety.” The huge selection and willing-
ness to provide what people want has resulted in repeat customers, from Pembroke to Ottawa. The brothers added scrapbooking supplies to their shelves when customers’ requests came to them. The Briscoe name is well known in Renfrew thanks to James and Chris’s father Charles, who owned the former Loeb store next door. James said that when his father retired a few years ago, he and Chris studied the market to see what kind of store would be successful. “We wanted to come up with something our-selves,” he said. “We talked to a lot of people and trav-elled around, down to Ottawa.” The result has been three years of good times for everyone. If you’re going to have a party, The Warehouse is your fi rst stop. They are located at 57 Raglan St. S., Downtown Renfrew. Drop in and see them before throwing your next party. The Warehouse is open 7 days a week.
