he second-hand children's clothes and accessories store, Bears Repeating Too, has moved into the heart of Hamilton - and has already seen a boost in business.

The store was originally at Collectors Hill before it was bought out by Dawn Zuill and her mother Adrienne Defilla, but the lease was not up for renewal and they moved to the east end of Front Street in the Design Centre.

Now the store is on the upper level of the Washington Mall, opposite Caf? Latte and is doing a roaring trade, according to its owners.

“We opened on Saturday and it was a record day for us,” said Mrs. Zuill. “This is a great location and our customers seem to love it. Mama bear made coffee and we had doughnuts. No one went piggy about it and we had a nice little session.”

In fact Mrs. Zuill said she was planning on serving coffee every Saturday morning for her customers looking for new stock.
