SUCCESS STORIES

We’re excited to celebrate Blendz Smoothie Shop, a year-round, allergy-friendly, plant-based take-out restaurant right here in North Bay.

Located at 319 Algonquin Ave, North Bay, Blendz offers healthy, fast, and accessible food options for the community, including:
• Vegan and vegetarian meals
• Dairy-free beverages
• Gluten-free treats
& Specialty grocery items

In December 2025, ownership transitioned to Megan Doucette through a business succession opportunity.

Megan recognized the need for safe and inclusive dining options for people navigating dairy intolerance, gluten allergies, religious dietary guidelines
and personal lifestyle choices. Blendz helps fill this important gap by offering clearly communicated and carefully prepared menu options that customers can trust.

Megan employs local staff and has experienced a steady rise in in-store sales, along with increased online and catering orders since launching in December.

Megan recently completed The Business Centre’s Starter Company Plus program, where she received a $5,000 grant to support the continued growth of the business.

A reminder to aspiring entrepreneurs: our program supports succession opportunities too, meaning you may be eligible whether you are starting a new business or purchasing an existing one.
