Porsche Centre Kitchener-Waterloo Preview

For years I have been anticipating the arrival of the Policaro Group's Porsche Centre in Kitchener Waterloo and yesterday I that day arrived!  I spent the better part of the morning speaking with Irene and Klaudia, representatives in the sales and service sectors about Porsche and had a wonderful tour through the three levels of the state of the art building.

I began on the main level where there were Porsche models from past to present, plus a cafe and even a Kids Design Area located by the retail shop.

Next I toured the service area on the main level.  They even have heated sidewalks to ensure everyone's safety year-round.  After walking through the service bay, I got to see the vehicles that are showroom ready.  It was interesting to learn that they clean those cars twice daily to ensure they can bring them up to the showroom with very little notice.   

 

After learning about their photo-shoot spot, it was time to head up to the third level to get a overview of the showroom floor.

Practical Porsche Family of Vehicles

While Porsche is well-known for their racing wins, did you know they offer family vehicles as well?

Family-Oriented Models:

- Porsche Cayenne: Introduced in 2002, this luxury SUV offers sporty performance with family-friendly practicality.

- Porsche Panamera: A luxury sedan that combines Porsche's sporty DNA with space and comfort for the whole family.

Eco-Friendly Innovations:

- Hybrid and Electric: Porsche offers hybrid and fully electric models, like the Panamera Hybrid and the Taycan, blending performance with sustainability.

I even found a Porsche Tractor on site!

Looking for a Father's Day Gift? Check the Porsche Centre's Retail Shop 

With Father's Day just a few weeks away, I suggest visiting the Porsche Retail shop located inside Porsche Centre KW. There are Porsche branded hats, shirts, drinkware and lots of unique items available for purchase.

As a memento for my preview, I was gifted this Porsche branded Nike hat.

Time To Get Fresh With The Chopped Leaf

Being the JAMIE OLVIER FOOD REVOLUTION AMBASSADORS FOR KW, we were thrilled to learn that The Chopped Leaf had opened a second location in Kitchener-Waterloo Ontario.  This location is situated at THE BOARDWALK at Ira Needles.

The Chopped Leaf is a franchise that began in Western Canada with an emphasis on fresh and healthy options.  They offer both seating in their establishment as well as to go meals that can be ordered online or in person.  This fits well within the KW community.  It gives families another option when it comes to quick service meals. Be sure to check out their menu to see all the offerings available.

What We Ate At The Chopped Leaf

We each both began with number one WHOLE BOWL and added items that we each wanted to try.

As a beverage with our meals we each had a Fresh Cold Pressed Juice with our meal! Our choice this time has citrus, turmeric and ginger.

Eating at The Chopped Leaf was an amazing experience and while we left feeling full, we didn't feel like we needed a nap.  The fresh vegetables and lean protein gave us energy to carry on with the rest of our day.

With choices like salads, juices, wraps, whole bowls and veggie rolls you can find something for everyone.  They even have a $5 kids menu to get your kiddos excited about eating healthy
