Insider Publisher’s Note Summer has arrived, and we are crossing our fingers for some warm sunny days after an unseasonably cool and wet spring.

Jazz, blues, folk, swing, brass, and more!

When you are out shopping on a Saturday afternoon in July and August, stop to enjoy Concerts Under the Clock brought to you by the Kerrisdale Business Association.

On the cover is fashion icon Sue Randhawa, owner of The Optical Boutique, that has been part of the community since 1979. The boutique offers independently designed collections often handmade by artisans from around the world that are usually not available elsewhere. Read about how Sue was recognized by The Globe and Mail as one of the ten best-dressed people in Canada.

We introduce you to THIRSTYYY, a Japanese culture-based Asian snack and convenience store that opened in January. In addition to snacks, the business sells fresh food, beverages and cosmetics. THIRSTYYY already has five other locations operating in Metro Vancouver and plans to open more stores soon.

Cute Cuts, Glam It All Beauty, Markus J Hair, and Song Tea have recently opened. Operated by the same owner as Grandmama’s Cafe, Grandmama’s Market is getting ready to open this summer. Celeste Hair & Beauty, Giovani Hair Design, Rainier Dry Cleaners, Sofra Mediterranean, and TG Trendy have closed or sold. Westcoast Rugs is moving to Richmond in August when the store’s lease expires, so now is the time to take advantage of their rug sales.

It’s the season to dine on an outdoor patio with friends; temporary patios are also popping up and safety curbs have been reinstalled. Take a stroll or cycle along the Arbutus Greenway, cool down with bubble tea, iced coffee or an ice cream cone, or walk through the neighbourbood, and explore the unique shops, services and restaurants that make Kerrisdale so charming. We wish you a wonderful summer ahead!

THE OPTICAL BOUTIQUE: On a Mission to Make You Feel Good Story by Sarah Gordon

photos submitted

The Optical Boutique opened its doors in Kerrisdale in 1979 and introduced Vancouver to eyewear collections that had never been seen before. Unlike mainstream labels that the city was accustomed to seeing, the store offered independently designed collections often handmade by artisans from around the world.

Owner Sue Randhawa joined The Optical Boutique as a Licensed Optician in 1997 and took over the business ten years later. She was born in India and was raised in Vancouver.

The original building was demolished; in 2013, the store moved into its new home on the same site. Sue notes, “I wanted to retain the old charm of the village, and the interior of my store reflects that. I am an antique collector, and the antiques inside the store are from the happier times of long ago. I’ve collected some of these items from trips abroad. Many have been given to me by clients, and those are my favourite items. Clients enjoy the comfort of the store’s interior while knowing that they will 6

have the most innovative lenses and frames to select from.”

Sue’s natural flair for fashion was recognized

by The Globe and Mail newspaper in 2021 when she was included on the list of Canada’s ten best-dressed people.

“I dress the way I do because it gives me great joy, and I admire other people who do the same.

I never thought it would be noticed enough to get on the Globe and Mail’s Best Dressed list.

The outpouring of excitement from Kerrisdale was astounding. Every day someone will come in and mention this. To even be noticed was a career highlight,” she says.

Sue describes how colour often scares people, but it's usually because they don’t know what works on them. “That is where we come in,” notes Sue. “People find us because they’ve admired eyewear that they’ve seen on our clients. We make choosing eyewear with colour less daunting by doing a colour analysis – it’s a short process, but we’re able to see which colours will work while staying within your comfort zone.”

“Fashion has been a part of my life for a very long time. I come from humble beginnings – I was one of five children and didn’t have a whole lot. We would make do with what we had, but I was always experimenting. The world around me was my inspiration. This is where I realized how important colour is; it is often overlooked, but it plays an important part in how I dress. We have a few seconds to make that first impression, and I want mine to be a memorable one.”

Fashion goes beyond the way Sue dresses.

She has been a supporter of Vancouver Fashion Week for several years and created a scholarship for an emerging design student attending a Vancouver post-secondary school.

“It’s a difficult career field to break into, particularly in Vancouver. I try to help in terms of finance and mentorship.”

“I have an incredible all-star team that works alongside me to make it all happen.”

“Our mission is to make people feel good. We are not going to sell a pair of glasses to make a sales quota.”

The Optical Boutique has glasses in every price range, and no one is made to feel that their eyewear is expensive or unaffordable. Unlike many stores today, Sue and her team fix and repair glasses when they can and even make trips to the homes of elderly clients. “In many ways, we are still the old-fashioned business of 1979 when your word meant everything. Ours is a business based on honesty and integrity,” says Sue. “People remember this — it gives them a good feeling, a feeling they will never forget.”

She adds, “Our goal goes beyond finding the best pair of glasses for our clients. Along the way, we may discover a client’s creativity that they haven’t tapped into in years or their desire to express some individuality. We help our clients realize their strengths and beauty,

Unlike an ordinary optical store, The Optical Boutique’s opticians have a style component to fitting their clients with frames that includes considering their existing wardrobe, individual personalities, and facial features. Fashion is also an integral part of the store, and styling each client is a unique aspect of the business model.

regardless of their age or gender. There is nothing more satisfying than seeing someone glow with newfound confidence because they have the right eyewear.”

The carefully curated collections change constantly, and most of the buying is done abroad. Sue travels two to three times a year; she seeks out distinctive artisans that make extraordinary, cutting-edge designs. She takes into consideration the design process, how and where frames are made, and from what rare or sustainable materials they are made. Now that travel has resumed, she will travel to the New York and Paris shows, followed by Milan.

The Optical Boutique offers its clients eyewear that stands out and is not usually available anywhere else. Most other optical stores carry products that are stamped with trendy names.

Sue purchases her collections because they are designed based on real people and their individual features. “We fit our clients based on their personality and lifestyle. When we do this, the eyewear style lasts a very long time as opposed to merely one or two seasons.”

time customer stated when she passes away, she wants to be wearing her favourite pair of frames. The rest of her glasses were to be packed carefully so that she would have them with her when she reached ‘the other side.’”

The Optical Boutique has been featured in many national publications, such as Fashion Magazine and TV segments, such as Global TV. “I continue to enjoy working as an optician – it’s what I love to do,” says Sue. “With the exposure we have been receiving, I’ve been asked to speak at fashion and industry events.

This is a new avenue for me, but one that I’m enjoying.”

Sue concludes, “Our clients are our biggest reward. We have been privileged to serve some of the most interesting people in this city, people who we get to talk to for a short while to learn a little bit about their lives. To know that we’ve been given an opportunity to play a small role in their lives is an honour.”

Sue’s personal eyewear collection is made up of 25 to 30 pairs that she rotates through, sometimes wearing different ones on the same day. She says, “I choose them based on the esthetic of the frame rather than the designer.”

Some of The Optical Boutique’s clients go back to 1979. Sue credits them for helping to establish the business.

“Now their children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren are the people that we are serving. With the power of social media, we continue to grow despite never advertising – our eyewear speaks for us, and the people wearing it talk about us.” Sue explains that her client base has spread all over Canada and the United States. “The pandemic has changed the way business is done, and as a result, we are now able to do virtual consultations, which has opened a new segment of the global population for us,” she says.

She adds, “The best client stories are always about how they love their glasses. A long8

THIRSTYYY:

Vancouver’s New Asian Convenience Store Story by Sarah Gordon

Photos by Carolynne Palla

Why have one ‘y’ when you can have three?

Angel Peng, the founder and president of THIRSTYYY, explains the origin of the Vancouver-based convenience store’s name.

“It is memorable, easy to recognize, simple and fun. It makes you feel thirsty with the extra y’s.”

THIRSTYYY is a newcomer to Kerrisdale.

The Japanese culture based Asian snack and convenience store opened in January 2022, with five other locations now open in Dunbar, Kitsilano, Point Grey, downtown Vancouver, and inside the UBC Nest. Additional stores are planned for West Broadway, and the company has its sight set on opening shops in Richmond and Tsawwassen.

Angel points out that the Kerrisdale shop is larger than the Dunbar location. It sells almost

12

the same products; however, the Kerrisdale store carries more cosmetic products and living necessities.

The convenience store’s concept is built on a Japanese style of marketing, management, and presentation with its clean and organized feel.

Angel says, “The way we present and serve products is as important as the products themselves.” She adds, “THIRSTYYY is based on a condensed version of FamilyMart, which is found everywhere in Japan and Asia.”

June 15 - August 31, 2022

She adds, “The neighbourhood and frequent shoppers are very excited to have a THIRSTYYY in the community where they can often find very popular and unique products, and some of them are exclusive. “

“Our Japanese products represent taste and quality at a very competitive price. Our goal is to have and present fun and fresh things.”

Lining the shelves, you will find many snacks such as sweets, biscuits, crackers, chips, cups of noodles, and grilled fish in foil packages.

True to the store’s name, THIRSTYYY customers are delighted to find many popular Japanese energy drinks, such as Pocari and Lemon CC, some of Japan’s most sought-after beverages. The store often runs out as people will purchase eight to 12 bottles at a time.

“Best selected” fresh food is also available, with more selections coming soon. Products vary depending on the size of the store. Angel mentions, “Our daily fresh food always sells out before early afternoon.”

Sushi, bento, and Japanese “Sandos” (a Japanese nickname for a sandwich) include A5 Wagyu ribeye steak with handmade Hokkaido milk bread and house-made umami sauce, as well as fruit, egg Tamago, pork tonkatsu, and chicken Nanban Sandos.

quality New Zealand king salmon and different kinds of sashimi fish, uni, and Japanese Wagyu beef, which is very famous and has the best taste,” says Angel.

In addition to snacks, the store sells some noteworthy cosmetics.

Angel says, “Cosme creates award-winning Japanese cosmetics. Pola is a Tokyo-based company, and their limited-edition osmanthus blossom-scented body wash is currently available. People see these items on social media and YouTube and are excited to find them here.”

Customer feedback has been positive. People frequently say they feel like they are in Japan.

Beautiful ceramic ramen bowls and plates come in a variety of patterns. Angel describes the dishes as “Quality, but not high priced. All are handmade and are sold at the convenience store due to their connection with food and daily uses.”

Both Angel and a colleague in Japan do the ordering for all the THIRSTYYY stores. She concludes, “We do not have time to rest. We need to keep ourselves updated to find the best products for our customers.”

“Coming soon by pre-order only, directly imported Japanese fruit such as Crown brand melon will be available. We also sell the highest

ASK A KERRISDALE INSIDER How do you touch your toes again?

Roy Lamont could never touch his toes until he began regular exercise sessions at LIVE WELL in Kerrisdale.

“I was that regular stiff guy.” My doctor referred me to LIVE WELL because I had injured myself at another gym and felt it would be more suitable. He was right.”

The 70-year-old married father of two and grandfather had been active, but when he joined LIVE WELL, he began to see real progress. “When I started, I was using 15 lb dumbbells and now I am using 30! Two years ago, I was able to run the Sun Run without much training, and for the last few years I have been taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge!” But the real litmus test was when he moved houses. “I was able to carry nearly thirty full cardboard boxes up four flights of stairs - all since I have been at LIVE WELL.”

Ray Lamont, member #301-5511 West Boulevard Vancouver BC V6M 3W6 604-269-3705 info@vancouver.livewellclinic.ca

LIVE WELL template.pdf

The expert staff at LIVE WELL keep him coming back. “The educational component of the sessions is informative - not simplistic, but not too technical. I would (and HAVE) highly recommend LIVE WELL because of the individualized programming that allows for training at your pace. Your goals are achievable without the risk of injury. And the members are a real community for my wife and me.”
