The Rockies Rentals Store

It’s a retail store… it’s a rental office… it’s the place we fold all those damned fitted sheets.
It’s the home of Rockies Rentals. We’ve got all of the bases covered at the store.

	Curry’s Curries “Food is communication – a way for me to express myself, provoke response and create dialogue. I live to eat, I love to cook, and have a bottomless, insatiable hunger for learning. I am not a ‘trained’ Chef; no papers, no seals, no framed certificates, no credentials outside of hours worked and scars from my elbows down to my fingertips. Food is, and should be, comfort. A blanket for the soul – food is history, culture, memory. Food allows me to explore ideas, makes mistakes, ask ‘what if’… It gives me the ability to relate, and I am extremely grateful for every opportunity thrown my way. I could tell you about my past, my influences, my inspiration, where I’ve been, what I have done, yada yada yada.. But I much rather show you who I am, through food.” Ryan’s Hot Sauces can also be found at Valbella Gourmet Foods, Red Gables Deli, Rusticana Grocery, The Uprising Bake Shop, and Banff Gift Baskets.

	Drop Caramel Co. “Mom! Let’s sell our caramel sauce! Hi, my name is Maude and I am so happy you found us! I live in Canmore, Alberta with my two sport loving daughters, Paisley and Maggie. This new adventure for us was the idea my daughters candidly and enthusiastically came up with to finance their competitive sports. It sparked my imagination right away! I thought it would be a great learning experience for the three of us to take an idea through the process of realization. Just like that, a little dream was born to sustain ourselves with the products of our own hands. To me it also meant to promote physical activity, healthy bodies and minds. Our scrumptious caramel sauce is made right here in Canmore where we love to play outdoors and fuel our adventures with top notch treats!!” Drop’s Caramel sauce can also be found at Uprising Bake Shop in Banff.

	Made of Star Stuff Body Care The atoms of everything around us were all made in the interiors of collapsing stars, billions of years ago. As Carl Sagan said, “We are made of star stuff.” And these products are too! Made of Star Stuff Body Care weaves together my passion for crafting and my knowledge of biochemistry and natural scenes, with a touch of my personal love for the stars. I hope you enjoy. I have always loved experimenting. Whether it was in the Science lab, in the kitchen, or with nifty DIY’s, pushing my boundaries for trying new things is always something I have enjoyed. I felt like my sensitive skin got in the way of me being able to try new skincare products, so I tried to get around that by making my own creations. It started with a fudge lip balm and it grew from there to add soaps, body butters, and now facial and hair care, too! I have always aimed to keep simplicity and sustainability in mind for my formulations and the way I package them. Thank you for following along with this passion of mine; it truly means so much to me! Follow along on Facebook and Instagram.
