With a background in grocery retailing, Tony decided to try his hand at the other end of the food chain and opened TJ's Nut Hut and Coffee Shop in Yellowknife's historic Old Town in the fall of 2010 after launching a successful retailing/wholesaling nut business in BC.
When you come into his shop, you will be greeted with a "Top of the day to you!" and if lucky, one of Tony's latest family-friendly jokes. And yes, he has heard almost every squirrel or nut joke ever recorded....and has a good memory.
When not in the shop, Tony loves music (he plays guitar and piano), the outdoors and volunteering at community events. Be sure and say hi if you see him around!

In her free time, Janet is a fiber artist working in silk and felt and her creations can be found in the gallery inside TJ's. Janet is also working on her second book.
