History
Established in 2010.
An average guy, dating an average girl, found this amazing old stone building in the little town of Gananoque, gateway to the 1000 islands. We had to have it and restore it into something everyone could experience and enjoy. We built a bustling complex called Axleworks. It houses the clothing boutique - Steel Style Garage, the restaurant - the socialist pig, the yoga studio - The Ledger Room.
