✨After 2.5 incredible years, The Avid Host retail store is closing its doors.

👋This is NOT goodbye!
It is a transition to ONLINE.

✨Our store has been filled with conversation, laughter, beautiful food, thoughtful gifts, and the kind of connections that only happen when people gather around a table. We are so grateful for every customer who walked through our doors, supported a small family business, and became part of our story.

And we are not done! It’s a new chapter!

🗓️Our retail store closes Sunday, February 22. Come in and see us!

🏪The Avid Host is moving fully online at theavidhost.com, where you can shop your favourite cocktail ingredients, dinnerware, serveware, barware, tabletop pieces, home décor, and all the fun extras that make gathering special and more always arriving. 🍸✨

❤️Same curated products. Same heart. Delivered right to your door.

🚚To make the transition easy, we are offering $5 delivery throughout March for customers in Orleans and Ottawa.

❤️We love our community. We love bringing people together. That part is not changing.

⭐️Thank you for two and a half beautiful years in store!
