Brandon Wallis (pictured above) and his wife Ashley also own the School of the Wise in Victoria. |
|
This is the new Lakeside Building just before the ice cream awning was installed on the far left entrance. |
|
The Social officially opened on August 14th, 2014. Their ice cream is delicious. |
|
Churchills |
|
Churchills Quality Cigars and Gifts is located at Victoria’s downtown intersection, as you can see. |
|
Owners are Derrick Smigiel and his wife Tish. They opened the door to Churchills on August 13th. |
|
Tish, whose background is British, is pictured with a special Toby mug in the character of an English bulldog. The mug is part of the décor at Churchills. |
|
Derrick pointed out special little alcoves, temperature controlled, where customers can keep their special cigars until they drop by for a smoke on the private plaza out back. |
|
Derrick said he has over 100 brands and 250 different sizes, ranging from $4.99 up to $34.99. The humidor, which is where the cigars are on display, is basically kept at room temperature and then there is a reverse osmosis humidification system that keeps the humidity between 70% and 72%. Perfect conditions for the inventory. |
|
Said Derrick, “We purchased the building on May 10th and began working on the landscaping and getting the humidor and inside ready.” |
|

Secrets to success? Said Mike, “Treat everyone like friends and family.” Said Brett, “Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.” |
