Off the Hook Boutique and Gallery is now open at 35 Ontario St in Trenton and this new location for this iconic business gives the owner Brandy Calvert Ringelmann even more space to showcase the fashion she is known for. “I moved the store because I wanted more space and to be able to add new product categories like the garden art and art gallery,” said Ringelmann. “This location will allow us to hold small intimate events throughout the year and is much closer to the boater tourism that QW offers.”
