Congratulations to Janis and Jamie Antonio on becoming the new owners of Dunny’s Source for Sports in both Stratford and St Mary’s. Established an incredible 43 years ago in St Mary’s and 20 years ago in Stratford, Brian Dundas has decided it is time to hand the reins over. Though, if you are lucky, you may still spot him in one of the two stores for the next year… to ensure a super smooth transition.
For the Antonios, this is exactly where they are supposed to be. Janis has taken a two-year leave of absence from her profession as a local grade 8 teacher to entrench herself in the business. Jamie, while his full-time job is as a financial advisor, he managed Dunny’s Source for Sports for the first seven years in Stratford. Their daughter, Katie, has worked here the last couple years.
On the home front, their 12-year-old son plays Stratford Warriors hockey and Stratford Nationals baseball, the latter of which is coached by Dad. Their daughter plays Stratford Aces hockey, coached by Dad, and Stratford Strikers soccer, coached by Mom. It’s clear that taking on Dunny’s is a perfect fit for this sporty family!
Dunny’s Source for Sports will continue to offer hockey and baseball equipment. Changes in Stratford under the new ownership will include some shop renovations and updating the skate and helmet fitting area, and the stick wall. They will continue to work with Sports Organizations and Local businesses to provide team apparel. An online platform with individual team stores is in the works. Be on the lookout for a Grand Opening and a Retirement Sale in the near future!
