36th Anniversary: Lockside Trading Company
Lockside Trading Company was created in 1987 by Susan Mattucci and her partner Brian Holmes in the heart of the Kawarthas cottage country, Young’s Point. Building the business from the ground up, to a multi award winning small business has made this full-service retail store a constantly changing experience that operates year ‘round. It has become a favorite destination for locals and out-of-town visitors alike; attracting more than 100,000 visitors a year, so many in fact, that in 1997 it was classified as an Ontario Major Attraction. 
When Brian passed away on June 30, 2003, after a 10-month battle with cancer, Sue’s son Mike Mattucci came on full-time to help keep up their vision of Lockside and more. They continued growing the business, including expanding to another location in Haliburton. Making Lockside the destination in Peterborough, the Kawarthas, and the Haliburton Highlands.
Now with three shopping locations to serve from: one in Young’s Point offering over 7,000 square feet of shopping, the second location in downtown Haliburton with over 5,000 square feet. If you prefer to do your shopping from the comfort of your home or cottage, Lockside’s third location – their online store – is there for your convenience, helping serve you from anywhere.
No matter where customers shop, all three locations offer a one-of-a-kind shopping experience, with a mix of home décor that helps create living spaces in which to sit back, relax, and entertain throughout the year. Selections are constantly changing throughout the seasons, offering a multitude of choices from indoor and outdoor furniture, lighting, giftware, bedding, clothing and so much more.
