Dunbar Life - November 2022

Dunbar Village Business Association

Message from DVBA President, Vicki Bell

window paintings, we look forward to a new winter wonderland theme with snowflakes. The community was very impressed with Carrie MacKay from The Graphic Garden, who designed Dunbar’s fall/Halloween windows. Watch for other holiday surprises in Dunbar Village, and enjoy the sounds of Santa’s Saxes Jazz Trio this December.

Welcome to the winter edition of Dunbar Life. It’s our largest issue of the year!

We were fortunate to have experienced unseasonal fall temperatures, but then overnight, like Halloween magic, frost appeared! Speaking of Halloween, the Dunbar Village Business Association’s Trick-or-Treat in Dunbar Village event made its big return on October 29th after two long years. The community came out in full force to celebrate in creative costumes, and our businesses experienced the highest candy demand ever! Now our thoughts shift to the upcoming holiday season when we bundle up to enjoy outdoor activities and spend more time indoors with family and friends.

Tradition is a large part of the holidays, and we hope that shopping in Dunbar Village is on your list of traditions. Dunbar’s merchants have unique offerings and look forward to seeing you this festive season. In this issue, you will find the famous Dunbar Village Gift Guide that offers many original gift ideas sure to bring huge smiles to the faces of the recipients.

As businesses remove their fall and Halloween

On the cover are Pablo Larrea-Molina and his wife Karla Chinchilla, the new owners of K&K Petfoods at 4595 Dunbar. They sell everything for pets, from food and treats, to comfy bedding, toys, crates, and grooming supplies. The store also carries excellent holiday gifts for all of your animals.

We are excited to profile a new business in the north part of the village at 3271 Dunbar. The very personable The UPS Store franchise owner Victor Chan opened his store in mid-October. The UPS Store offers many valuable services, including packing, printing, shredding, custom stickers, and personalized postcards and invitations. You might have seen Victor’s new business profiled on the DVBA’s Instagram page @dunbar_village.

This fall, Dunbar Village Business Association (DVBA) members voted at the annual general meeting to support their DVBA for another three years. The DVBA works hard to promote and improve Dunbar Village’s business district, and we thank you for everything you do to support our businesses throughout the year.

As we bid farewell to 2022, we are filled with anticipation for the New Year. We wish you and your family and friends a Happy Holiday Season. May 2023 bring you peace and joy!

Welcome to Dunbar Village

We would also like to thank Jeffrey Ho and Michael O’Connell from Blight’s Home Hardware who made a triumphant return to the BBQ at the AGM. Their hard work was so appreciated!

Thank you very much to all of our business members who generously provided door prizes! There were many happy members who enjoyed winning special prizes from other businesses!

K&K Petfoods:

For All Your Pets’ Needs

Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Sandra Steier and Carolynne Palla

For over forty years, Dunbar residents have turned to K&K Petfoods to help keep their pets happy and healthy. Pablo Larrea-Molina and his wife Karla Chinchilla (could there be a more perfect last name for a pet store owner?) are the shop’s new owners; they purchased the business from BJ and Luci Kim, who retired in December 2021.

Originally from Mexico City, Pablo and Karla had visited Whistler and Vancouver several times and dreamed of moving here with their family. In 2019, they made a trip to Vancouver to investigate businesses for sale when they found K&K Petfoods. Although Pablo did not have previous experience in this industry, he was confident his experience as a business owner (he owns a car repair shop in Mexico City) would serve him well.

The COVID-19 pandemic delayed their move to Vancouver until September 2020. Pablo worked alongside BJ and Luci Kim for a year while they passed on their extensive knowledge, and then he and Karla fully took the helm in January 2022.

“I know the customer service part of operating a business very well. Making people happy is the same whether it relates to their cars or pets.”

Pablo works in the shop with his staff, ordering products and managing the business, while Karla assists behind the scenes managing social media, building the website, and coordinating online sales.

Over 4,000 products can be found in this well-stocked shop.

K&K Petfoods Dunbar carries a variety of dry, wet, and raw pet foods from popular holistic brands to help keep your pets happy and healthy. In addition, the shop sells a wide range of healthy treats and freeze-dried meats both you and your pets can feel good about.

“There has been an increasing demand for raw food for dogs and cats. You can add veggies and grains. People are becoming aware that a raw diet has many nutritional benefits,” he says.

Pablo knows how expensive many necessities have become and attempts to keep his pet food prices lower than other stores. He says, “We carry the best quality products at competitive prices.” He also points out that some pet food brands offer loyalty programs.

From food to comfy bedding, toys, pet crates, and grooming supplies, your pets’ needs will be well taken care of.

The couple’s beloved 13-year-old golden retriever, Mak, recently passed away. He frequently came to the shop, and they miss him very much. They feel fortunate that Aya,

one of their staff members, brings in a puppy name Fig several times a week.

K&K Petfoods is located in the same block as Alta Vista Animal Hospital. Following veterinary appointments, it is common for dogs to drag their owners into the pet food store to get a treat; K&K Petfood’s staff is always happy to oblige.

The holidays will soon be upon us, and seasonal gifts will be lining K&K Petfoods’ shelves. From toys and treats to turkey and cranberry-flavoured food, gifts for our furry friends will be packaged in Christmas-themed colours and shapes; after all, even pets enjoy unwrapping something special! Other gift suggestions include sweaters to bundle up in and socks to keep little paws warm on cooler walks. A new bed is another nice treat for your feline or canine pal to curl up in on a cold winter day.

Cats and dogs aren’t the only pets that receive tender loving care at K&K Petfoods. You will also find products for ferrets, guinea pigs, chinchillas, fish, hamsters, and wild birds, along with items for reptile habitats. Although they do not carry fish tanks, they do sell filters, sand and food.

Pablo is enjoying Dunbar. He says, “It’s a friendly residential family-oriented neighbourhood. Many customers have shopped here forever; some are third-generation customers. It’s like a small village where people say hi to each other.”

Community is very important to Pablo. He says, “K&K Petfoods will participate in all Dunbar Village Business Association’s events starting with Halloween. It’s fun and important to build up a community around you.”

During the pandemic, many people became first-time dog owners and required help with pet food and other tips. Some customers are concerned about food allergies or seek food to help their pets lose weight. Pablo always recommends consulting a vet for medical issues; however, K&K Petfood’s staff does their research and knows their products

well. They are also happy to contact brand representatives with questions for their company’s nutritionist.

He concludes, “We take our time to do our best for our customers. We keep the store interesting by not always carrying the same things. Come in and visit us. We are happy to talk, sell or just play with any dog or cat that comes in!”

THE UPS STORE: Now Open in Dunbar

Village

Story by Sarah Gordon Photos by Carolynne Palla

The north end of Dunbar Street now has its own The UPS Store near the corner of West 17th Avenue. With over 360 locations, The UPS Store is Canada’s largest network of print and copy centres and Canada’s largest franchised chain of business service centres. Franchise owner Victor Chan opened the business in mid-October 2022.

“The opening went smoothly thanks to months of training at another franchisee’s store and with help from the local The UPS Store management team. We are now recruiting passionate and caring people who want to help us grow the business in our community,” Victor comments.

After studying engineering at UBC, Victor moved to Hong Kong, where he worked for over ten years in marketing and e-commerce in the fast-moving consumer goods sector.

“In my career, I did a lot of printing and shipping. After arriving back in Vancouver, I researched my new career; I discovered The UPS Store was hosting a seminar for a franchise opportunity through the Canadian Franchise Association. From there, I learnt that their business model has elements I am very familiar with. On top of that, I found a location in a neighbourhood I love. During my time at UBC, I often hung out in Dunbar Village because many of my school friends lived in the area. The vibrant mix of local businesses made me fall in love with the community. I would shop, eat, and have my hair cut here. The decision to open The UPS Store on Dunbar was a no-brainer,” says Victor.

He feels confident that Dunbar residents and business owners will enjoy having a The UPS Store in the neighbourhood. International

students will benefit from the mailbox service, which is a convenient and reliable way to receive mail. There are many advantages to using The UPS Store’s mailbox service, including an actual street address (not a P.O. Box), package acceptance from all shipping carriers, 24-hour access, package and mail receipt notification and call-in MailCheck.

“We are in the business of saving people time, and with shipping prices direct from UPS, we can also save them money.”

Domestic and international shipping is typically what many people associate with UPS. However, The UPS Store offers a multitude of valuable services such as full-service packing, presentation and document finishing (binding, laminating, etc.), online and in-store printing services (business cards, letterhead, reports,

posters etc.), black-and-white and colour copies, custom packaging and shipping for items big and small, packaging supplies, shredding services, and a variety of other business services.

Victor explains, “Common printing services like business cards, posters, signs, booklets, and document finishing services are our baseline offer. We also partner with visual designers to help local businesses kickstart or rejuvenate their brand or business. We are here to improve efficiency so that business owners can focus on their core business. We strive to become the office hub for the local small business community.”

Parents of school-age children will appreciate The UPS Store’s new custom name stickers. How many times has your child’s water bottle or lunch bag vanished into a black hole, never to be seen again? These stickers may be the answer.

“Postcards and invitations allow you to get the word out about your business or event. Let us design and print them for distribution or mailing.”

“We are committed to providing convenient small business services with personalized and dedicated customer service,” says Victor.

The rewards of operating his new franchise are already apparent. Victor says, “Being able to help and see smiles on our customers’ faces is what motivates me. Dunbar is a friendly neighbourhood where people know each other like a family. It is nice to be a member of a community that cares about the neighbourhood.”

Victor recently attended Dunbar Village Business Association’s AGM and looks forward to having The UPS Store participate in its wellloved community events.

As the holiday season is rapidly approaching, The UPS Store will experience substantially higher traffic for shipping. Victor advises visiting or calling the store if you are planning to ship something to your customers or a special someone during this time to ensure the shipment arrives on time.
