Every year Halifax's weekly independent weekly newspaper, The Coast Magazine, holds a survey where readers get to vote on a wide range of topics under the major headings of Public Life, Shopping, Bar Scene and Arts and Media. This year, under the categories of Best Furniture Store and Best Home Decor Store, Attica took gold in both! We're thrilled to once again win these awards; local support means much more to us than acclaim from any national publications.
Here's what The Coast had to say about our win this year for Best Furniture Store: "Wouldn’t Attica be a great place to live? You’d have a dining room so
cool that you’d be dying to host a dinner party, bathroom accessories so
awesome you’d spent extra time primping yourself every morning, a home
office that’d inspire you and a bedroom so sexy you’d be dying to…well,
sleep. Attica’s style reigns supreme in the BOH poll, their futuristic
furniture, major mood lighting and high fashion decor stylishly beat out
the competition yet again."
This is what they had to say about our win as Best Home Decor Store: "Attica had its 17th birthday this summer, and Coast readers celebrated
by awarding the store gold in this new category. Getting up there in
years might make some sluggish, but it just gives the great people at
Attica more energy---they are still going strong, bringing you the clean
lines of the best modern home accessories that local and international
artists have to offer. It’s “where dreams come true,” says one voter---a
statement that’s hard to argue with considering Attica’s now offering
fancy Vi-Spring luxury mattresses, so technically, it’s not just where
dreams come true, but where you can buy them, too".
While we have been winning our local acclaim as the best furniture
store in Halifax ever since the category was created, we certainly never
take it for granted. And what it makes it even better for us is to see
that we were preferred over national brands. Increasingly Haligonians
are recognizing the importance to our economy with supporting
locally-owned and independent businesses. When we buy local, we all win.
