Our Customers
The Fire Hall Market attracts village residents, tourists and day-trippers. Port Stanley has full-time residents and a recent migration of pre-boomer/boomers. The Port Stanley Festival Theatre offers year round live theatre productions, some of which are world premiere productions.
From May through October, beach-goers range from teenage to multi-generational families of all ages that enjoy the beach to cool off and stay for a week/month’s long vacation. Many people visit the village for something to do, and to enjoy a walk, grab something to eat or drink and shop. Port Stanley is a destination for Ontarians and Canadians alike, who flock to enjoy its Blue Flag Beach status which is 1 of the 23 beaches nationwide sharing this status by Swim Drink Fish Canada
Fire Hall Market preserving our heritage
Our indoor local artisan market experience is open year-round and is accessible to everyone. The design of the market commemorates the former fire hall use, with the front doors being preserved, fire hall memorabilia hanging in the market, timber beams being used for structural details in the market including a market clock, like you would see in an old European market. The front façade has been updated to reflect the heritage attributes of the neighbouring buildings.
The building has undergone extensive interior renovations to replace electrical, water, waste water, heating and new restroom facilities have been added. All accessibility requirements have been met to ensure the market is available to each visitor. Inside you'll find bistro tables and outside a patio on the front driveway for market visitors to sit and enjoy market foods and beverages.
We are very excited about repurposing the old fire hall along with the opportunities that have been created for existing and new business to share their local flavours in the Village of Port Stanley!
PORT STANLEY
Port Stanley has a wide variety of owner-operated shops & boutiques, many of them located in quaint and historical properties that add to the charm of the Village. Shopping in the larger chains you forget what this is like - hand selected merchandise adds to the personal shopping experience.
Kettle Creek runs through the middle of the Village and provides a sheltered port for boating, sailing, commercial fishing and recreational water enthusiasts. Tens of thousands of people visit the village for a day trip, a mid-week or a full weeks’ vacation stay, as a destination in Southwestern Ontario.
More and more people are moving to beachside communities to enjoy different shopping experiences, embrace a smaller town pace of life, and all the associated attributes of getting to know your community and experiencing a sustainable way of life.
