What does DTK need?

[nms]

A clothing store like Budd's (RIP). And a toy store (Budd's did have a toy department in their earlier days).

There is a new documentary out about Budd's on YouTube.

Budds Department Store was an iconic landmark in Kitchener, Ontario and when Howie and Stan — the sons and nephews of founders Lou, Jack, Mort and Nat — decided to retire, we felt that the best way to honor the store and families 89 years of history was to create this Documentary.

The announcement that January 2016 would be their final month, the Budds were flooded with people coming to share their personal thoughts, feelings and memories of what Budds meant to them.

Through this film we hope that those people connected to the store as employees, customers and family will be brought back to why Budds was what it was! And for those who never had the opportunity to walk through he doors, we hope you will understand why this store meant so much to so many.

And an enormous and heartfelt thank you to the Budds, employees, customers and everyone who helped make this film possible.
