About Us

Master Roaster - Tony Procure (TJ)

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!

Manager - Janet (Dean) Procure


Janet has a background in marketing, consulting and workforce training and brings her business know-how to work at TJ's .  Sometimes you will even find her behind the counter helping out Tony or behind the stove playing with some of her favourite recipes.  


Janet  has been running her own business ventures - Advance Corporate Training and Tangletree Centre for Leadership and Learning in the North since 2000 and is excited to be working with her husband at TJ's - although she is not quite as "nutty!"


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.
