Winnipeg perfumery ordered to close doors again
A long-time Winnipeg perfumery is cornered to shut down after the city has asked him to re-zone or no longer have people walk in his home-based business.
Winnipeg's La Parfumerie, a long-standing home-based perfumery, is closing its doors once again following a city directive. Owner Michael O'Malley told Global News he is unable to meet the city's commercial zoning requirements, which would necessitate a significant change in his business model. O'Malley, who has operated the natural perfume shop in the Wolseley neighbourhood since 1999, said the financial burden of the required zoning adjustments makes his business unviable.
Over 1,000 individuals signed a Change.org petition to thwart the closure, although neither the city nor area councillor have commented on the matter as of the deadline.
