Slender Concept, die Induced Rhythmic Motion exercise salon, spent a year and a half at 28 Main St. before making their move to the second floor of the Han building last week. The 'unofficial' opening was this past Wednesday, July 5, and an open house might be in the works in lieu of a grand opening day. Judy remarks that the move off of the Main St. won't deter any cus- tomers old or new, as most of her clientele come to Slender Concept by word of mouth. Walk-in ousuUC33 Is a rarity, and atter adver- tising broke the AV for the business, client testimony and the success of the 1.R.M. toning method brought the chests m un theu own. "We've got walking examples out there," Ms.Kuehl points out. With 2400 square feet of space at the disposal, Ms. Kuehl has great plans for the business and envisions the day when a spa, whirlpool, gym area and a small health food saving arca might be added to the business. At present, six toning tables and a tanning bed are in use by 150 plus clients, who come ink Slender Concept three to five tunes a week. "Tine misconceptions people have are tremendous, Ms. Kuehl says, explaining the concept behirill the business. Induced Rhythmic Motion, she points out, works at toning and stretching the muscle groups under the main muscle areas, before working on specific areas of the body. "We start deep Inside and work out," she says, likening the process to building a house. "You have to start w u,h the foundation, then build the walls, and than put on the roof."

Reddi-Chef set to welcome Seaforth Seaforth diners will soon have another choice to turn to when looking for a place to fill their faces. John and Cindy Hunt of Seaforth have been applying the elbow grease for the past couple of weeks, getting their new Reddi-Chef res- taurant in shape for their grand opening this on Wednesday. It's been a lot of hard work on a tight schedule, but the Hunt's are looking forward to offering their chicken and seafood fare to the community. "It's been a dream for a long time," John Hunt says proudly. The new Reddi-Chef restaurant, one of 22 franchised restaurants across Canada, will be offering specials all this week for their grand opening blitz. Specializing in chicken, fries and salads, the res- taurant will also offer fast fare such as burgers, submarines and fish and chips. This is the first venture into the restaurant business for the Hunts, who also run a janitorial service in town. Cindy Hunt has had plenty of exposure to the world of restaurants through her work as a waitress over the years, and is looking forward to taking on the whole business and offering nothing but the best to Reddi-Chef's cus- tomers. "You kind of get used to working with the public," she remarks. Originally from the Mitchell area, John and Cindy Hunt and their two children, Becky, 11 and Derek, 9, have lived in Seaforth for about 14 months now. Friends and family have been pitching in at the restaurant on 65 Goderich St., previously the home of Chipper's Chicken House. The Hunt's approached the building's owner when Chipp1/4: c' i lease ex- pired, and put the wheels in motion for their Reddi-Chef franchise. The past two weeks have been a blur, and major renovations to the res- taurant have included redecorating the entire interior, repaving the parking lot, and getting the kitchen ready for uusiness, but the doors are set to swing open today. Along with lunches and suppers, Reddi- Chef will also be serving coffee and doughnuts in the mornings. The family has also been busy sprucing up the car wash, directly beside the Reddi-Chef restaurant, and Cindy reports that they have had very good feedback from its customers so far. Now, car washers will be able to walk 20 feet to the Reddi-Chef after they've worked ur an appetite. 1 FRESH NEW LOOK, FRESH NEW FACES - John and Cindy Hunt will be opening their new Reddi-Chef franchise at the old Chippers location on Goderich St. this week, offering chicken, salads and seafood to a hungry Seaforth.
