Testimonial
When Greg and Debbie took over Canoe & Kayak North Shore, they inherited 14 years of systems, habits, and shop layout from the previous owners. But they had a vision for more: a retail environment that inspired exploration, a brand that stood out, and a business that supported their lifestyle. With Oxygen8’s support, they gained perspective, direction, and practical business coaching that helped them restructure, grow commercially, and reconnect with their local community.
Taking over a legacy business wasn’t without its hurdles. The systems were outdated, and the shop looked more like a shed than a showroom. Working with Oxygen8 helped Greg and Debbie rethink everything – from how the shop looked to how the business functioned.
They renovated, restructured, and refocused – achieving the best year in the store’s 25-year history. Commercial sales grew, and their local customer base rallied behind them. Most recently, they’ve stepped into digital marketing and brand storytelling to amplify their reach. Regular coaching gave them more control over planning, more time outside of work, and space to reconnect personally as well as professionally.
