Today on the Celebrating Simple Life Podcast, we are continuing our series of CELEBRATING JOY. And what better way to spark joy then by talking about sweets, desserts and the most adorable candy store in Saskatoon. I’m chatting with Ben Quattrini, owner of The Shoppe with locations in Saskatoon, Regina and Online. Ben is innovative and results driven executive, change agent and entrepreneur with extensive experience in marketing, sales, and project management. Originally from St. Catharines, Ontario, he now calls Saskatoon home. I had the joy of touring The Shoppe recently and try out all the goodies that make my sweet tooth SO happy! Tune in as we chat all about how The Shoppe came to be after being tested out as a pop up and get inspired to add creativity and sparks of joy in your business as you listen to Ben’s insight for how to do this.

90. The Sweet Life with Ben Quattrini of The Shoppe

With the re-openings happenings, there is a renewed interest and opportunity for tourism and the revitalization of the downtown core in cities. Now more than ever retail stores will have to use disruptive innovation in their marketing, branding and launching strategies in order to survive in today’s current economic climate.   Ben Quattrini uses a style of retail relatively new to Saskatchewan by using pop-up shops as a way to bring new concepts to the market and figure out what is the best business to start. This method has led to successful ideas for the Saskatchewan and Western Canadian market.   Through this approach, he along with his team have created several successful brands. The Shoppe is a brand that carries specialty ice creams and gourmet candy from all over the world.   The Boutique provides emopeds or electric mopeds, where are essentially a type of electric scooter for adults and youth that can be taken all over the city in the downtown core.   Benjamin Quattrini is a Venture Capitalist. Ben owns multiple businesses including The Shoe Boutique, The Boutique, The Shoppe and many more! Ben was born and raised in St. Catharines, Ontario. He has experience in a variety of industries, including automotive, dental, gaming, and entrepreneurship. Ben’s goal is to have 25 brand products that are developed and sold in 2021.
