It started with a Dream...

Lady Godivas opened November 1st 1996, the day after a wicked Halloween party which I'm sure some of our oldest friends will recall. Some of those friends are still here and some have since moved away, you know who you are and we want to say "HI" we hope you're all doing well!

Our humble beginnings November '96 1 Light St. Woodstock, Ont. We decided when we opened to offer products that were not readily available in our town anywhere else.  We wanted to be original, unique in our town. We started out with XXX VHS, Adult Toys, Massage Oils and some Lingerie as well as Joke and Gag stuff.  There were no other stores in Woodstock offering these products at this time.

What is Jim doing with that blow up doll? & Remember the paint job?

By the summer of 1998, due to Jim's relentless work ethics (he worked morning 'till night, we were open 10am to midnight then) our store was starting to get too big for it's britches. We needed more space and shoveling snow up the stairs was a bitch too.

So we moved, and it wasn't easy finding a space for an adult store in this town, it had been difficult the first time too and nothing had really changed.  It was February 14th 1999 when we moved right after work on Valentine's  day, our busiest day of the year.  It was surely an all nighter.  We couldn't have done it without the help of our friends, they might remember these pics...Eyes covered to protect the guilty...

Does anyone remember that last one, and what what the hell were we thinking?
