Facebook insists on having a business account use TWO factor authorization. Just watched a movie about WWII , spys and Nazis. figures..... on my screen the URL from facebook reads "checkpoint" passed...... and i'm allowed in to write this. Felt kinda ominous.

Dec 28th A better login. In preparation for the NEW VIP LOUNGE offerings ( and other special features coming soon) I've setup a BETTER LOGIN today. It shows up everywhere in the SHOPPING areas, and allows you to LOGIN and remain on the same page while you shop. ( Pretty slick I think ). As always, let me know what you think. Here's what it looks like before you log in.. and after.

Dec 27th. Quick experiments.... all the Records in Clearance section have been marked with special VIP pricing (50%) OFF. You can only see this pricing if LOGGED IN your account here at Millpond.

Boy is it ever hard to say goodbye. We have so many thank-yous to share so here they come. Thank you to our amazing customers for continuing to support local and keeping small shops like ours alive. Sharing our passion for music, reading, and chats about everything else under the sun has been so fun and rewarding for us. Thank you to our AMAZING staff, past and present. We absolutely lucked out with the most knowledgeable, friendly, and dedicated team who have been a blast to... work with and so key in making Millpond a local shop with character. We truly could not have run the shop without them. We are thrilled that Millpond is moving, not closing. The new owner Vince will be reopening Millpond as part of his existing store Green Spot Antiques, located at 49 Cedar St in Galt, and will be up and running there and online at millpondrb.ca very soon. So please stay tuned for more info on exact timing of the reopening. Running Millpond has been such a joy for our family and we will miss you all. Your friends, Colin, Christine, Clementine, Coralea

15772084091320Dec 27th Well...deliveries are on HOLD local with my van....... at least for a few days. Someone decided to break the back windshield last night or this morning. It's off to the Glass shop for this baby for a bit. We'll let you know when local low-cost deliveries will be available again soon. ... Go Figure...... two days after I posted a pict of it here on facebook? nah, probably coincidence. sheesh.

Just a little note to let everyone know that Millpond is officially moving and under new ownership. The Hespeler store is now closed so the books and records can make their way to Galt and settle in to their new home. More details to come.... Thank you for your continued patience and support during this transition - within a few weeks Millpond will be ready to welcome you back in its new spot, so keep dreaming of new reads and albums to pick up. #hespeler #hespelervillage #villageontheriver #galtlove #cbridge #cambridgeontario

Added contact form to page "contact us" .... https://millpondrb.ca/contact-us/ and it sends a quick email to me when you fill it out. Use it if you wish to contact me about anything on the site or store. I do most business with email, and find facebook/twitter/instagram/whatsupp minor headaches.... so do please use this if you really want a response from me quickly. I check my email daily on an almost constant basis in my various businesses, especially MILLPOND :-)

wow, so nice to be mentioned in the news. https://www.kitchenertoday.com//millpond-records-and-books

We’re so stoked to be able to share this new batch of t-shirts (expertly made by our friends at @swiftyprint who wants one) these will be in store starting tomorrow! These are super limited ed on dark grey heather, ring spun soft style 65/35 poly cotton split 180 gr virgin vinyl with red lime splatter gold plated - oh wait. Get a piece of millpond history and keep us close to your hearts as we will you! Shout out to the supremely talented former millponder @liamfreerart for the sweet design. We’re open tomorrow 10-6 for what will likely be our last day open in Hespeler, but big news coming!

Unfortunately our planned vinyl night tonight is cancelled. Happy Friday everyone!

Heads up - we’ll be closed today and all weekend. Apologies for the inconvenience. More info to come - stay tuned. #hespeler #hespelervillage

FOR SALE - Make millpond your own! We have poured our hearts and souls into this business over the past few years and have had such a great time being part of the Village community and connecting with all of our amazing customers and supporters. But now we've made the difficult decision to step away and create a little more time to spend with our families. As you know the store needs a new location, which makes this the perfect time for someone new to take the reins and bui...ld on what's here. In addition to our extensive book and vinyl stock, we have a beautiful new website and e-commerce system with over 12,000 tracked products, extensive shelving and custom record bins, supplier relationships, a brand identity in the region, and many other related products including posters, accessories, and even t-shirts. Bring Millpond to a new home of your choosing, whether that be a new storefront, full-digital platform or an events based model. Current online sales are primarily driven through the store’s website, but the site content can be easily configured to sell on other platforms such as Abe Books, Discogs, and Amazon to reach global audiences. Vinyl Night connections established with local businesses offer a unique and efficient means of generating new customers and sales in addition to the storefront model. This highly portable business model offers maximum flexibility in two product categories that are showing strong increasing trends in sales globally. Helping people discover books and records that they love is a truly rewarding experience. It will be hard for us to leave this chapter of our lives, but we know a new owner can build on what’s here and make Millpond their own in an amazing new location.
