Located in Gananoque, Ontario, Purple House Café has become a well-loved destination for both locals and visitors. Known for its wood-fired pizzas, fresh local ingredients, and warm, welcoming atmosphere, the café offers a unique dining experience just steps from the St. Lawrence River.
TICDC allowed us to build, buy equipment, startup fees, all of the things that we weren't able to secure on our own. It was a very easy process. They made it approachable and were always there to support us with any questions we had. It was almost like a partnership rather than a lender. I wouldn't be where I am today without the support of TICDC.
