Southport Grand Opening – 2nd Location in the Castlefield Design District

The Grand Opening for Southport’s Toronto location took place on Tuesday June 9. This is their second location which just opened in the Castlefield Design District in Toronto. Their first location in Vaughan is their main showroom.  They have many products including lounging, seasonal and dining collections,  a large selection of fire pits and tables, umbrellas and barbeques.

Guests arrived early showing up around 5 pm and everyone got the chance to view Southport’s beautifully designed patio furniture and accessories. People seemed to particularly like the Louvre Daybed with Canopy which was actually very comfortable. The store was perfectly laid out to display each product and the event was able to showcase the modern and stylish patio furniture while celebrating the company’s newest addition.

There was plenty of food for everyone. All night the chef was outside grilling up burgers, chicken and sausages for the attendees to enjoy. Inside there was also a grazing area with chips and popcorn that as donated by the Neal Brothers as well as homemade lobster dip (my personal favourite) from MartimeLobster.ca.

The event also had give-aways! Included in the give-aways were:

• 2 Weber barbeques courtesy of Southport
• A lobster dinner for 4 delivered to your house donated by Maritime Lobster
• A Starbucks gift bag that included coffee, a French press and a mug
• A basket FULL of many different products from Neal Brothers like pretzels and popcorn

Even though it was raining, people made their way to the design district to attend the grand opening and overall it was a success. Some people walked away with prizes but everyone had a great time.
