I just wanted to send out a warning to my friends and clients about some counterfeit Canadian currency making the rounds out there. It looks VERY real, but has some distinct markings if you and your staff look closely.
The serial number is missing.

There is writing that states "Prank Use Only" and "For Motion Picture Use Only" on the bills.

Tell your staff to be extra vigilant when accepting cash. Thank you to Annie MacInnis of the Kensington BRZ for the notification and Cst. David Harms of CPS for providing the images.
Suggested Blog Articles Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary. Established Food Court QSR Restaurant For Sale in the Calgary Area
Excellent opportunity to acquire an established quick service restaurant located in the food court of a busy, well established shopping centre in the Calgary area.
This location benefits from strong year round customer traffic generated by the surrounding mix of retail, entertainment and service businesses. As a food court location, the restaurant enjoys built in customer flow throughout the day, with increased activity during weekends, holidays and peak shopping periods.
The space is already fully built out and equipped for quick service food operations, giving a purchaser the opportunity to take over an existing restaurant location without the significant time and expense typically associated with developing a new food service space from scratch.
One of the strongest features of this opportunity is the flexibility it offers. A purchaser may be able to continue operating the existing concept, or potentially rebrand the location and introduce a completely different food concept, subject to landlord approval and applicable lease requirements.
This could be an excellent fit for an independent operator, an established restaurant group looking to expand, or another food service brand looking for a presence in a high traffic food court environment.
With an established buildout, strong surrounding customer traffic and the ability to bring a new concept to the space, this is a versatile opportunity for the right buyer.

Here is an opportunity to acquire a well established, independently operated café and coffee house with a loyal following and a reputation that has been built around great food, welcoming service and a truly unique atmosphere.
The business offers a predominantly plant based menu with a strong emphasis on fresh, thoughtfully prepared food, including soups, sandwiches, bowls, specialty drinks, smoothies, coffee and desserts. The menu also appeals to customers looking for gluten free and other dietary friendly options, helping the business reach a much broader customer base than a traditional café.
What really sets this business apart is the experience it has created. Customers consistently comment on the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere, friendly service, creative décor and the feeling that this is somewhere you can come in, slow down and stay awhile. It has developed into much more than simply a place to grab something to eat, becoming a gathering place for regular customers, community groups and special events.
The business has built an excellent online reputation with hundreds of customer reviews and has also received recognition from Calgary media and local food publications. That exposure, combined with repeat clientele and word of mouth, provides a new owner with an established foundation that would take years to recreate from scratch.
The space has personality without being overly formal and lends itself well to the existing operation while also providing opportunities for a purchaser to introduce their own ideas, expand the menu, increase operating hours, add additional events, catering or programming, and continue building on the community that has already been established.
This would be an excellent opportunity for an owner operator who wants something different from the typical franchise or restaurant offering. There is an established business, recognizable presence, existing customer base and a concept that has proven it can create loyal customers.
A unique Calgary hospitality business with plenty of personality and room for the next owner to put their own stamp on it.

Here is a new listing that I am happy to post in Calgary. A great opportunity to acquire an established Calgary plumbing, heating, cooling and HVAC business, along with the commercial property it operates from. Opportunities like this don't come up often, especially when you can purchase both the operating business and the real estate together. Whether you're an owner-operator, an existing contractor looking to grow, or a strategic buyer wanting a foothold in the Calgary market, this business offers a solid foundation to build on.
The company serves both residential and commercial customers and provides a wide range of services, including plumbing repairs and installations, heating and furnace service, air conditioning work, water heaters, drain and sewer services, system upgrades, and other related mechanical work. Over the years, it has built an established customer base, experienced team, proven systems, supplier relationships, equipment, vehicles, and the infrastructure needed to continue operating and growing.
Included in the sale is the Calgary commercial property that serves as the company's home base. The building supports day-to-day operations with space for administration, dispatch, storage, vehicles, tools, inventory, and future expansion. Owning the real estate adds another layer of value, giving a buyer stability, flexibility, and the ability to benefit from both the operating business and the underlying property.
This is a confidential sale, and detailed information will be provided only to qualified buyers who have signed a confidentiality agreement. Additional information, including financials, property details, equipment lists, operational information, and due diligence materials, will be made available during the review process.
This opportunity could be a great fit for an existing plumbing, HVAC, or mechanical contractor looking to expand in Calgary, an entrepreneur seeking a turnkey trades business with real estate included, or an investor interested in acquiring an established operating company backed by commercial property. |
