I’ve honestly been having a hard time putting this into words. When I made my last post, I knew it might mean something to some people, but I really wasn’t prepared for the response. The comments, private messages, stories, and memories have been a lot to take in, in the best possible way.

I’ve heard from long-time customers who have been coming to Jim’s for decades. I’ve heard from families who made us part of their Friday nights, birthdays, lunches, dinners, and little traditions. I’ve also heard from former employees who talked about their time here, their first jobs, the people they worked with, and the memories they still carry with them. Some messages made me laugh, some brought back things I hadn’t thought about in a long time, and some honestly made me just sit there for a minute and take it all in.

What really hit me is that while we were here doing the day-to-day work, making food, answering phones, cleaning tables, training staff, dealing with busy nights, and just trying to keep everything moving, Jim’s was becoming part of other people’s lives too. For some people, it was their first job. For some, it was where they came after school. For some, it was a family night, a birthday meal, a stop downtown, or dinner with parents, grandparents, friends, or people they may not get to sit across from anymore. That part really got to me.

When you are inside a business every day, you tend to see the work first. The stress, the bills, the repairs, the long hours, the problems that need solving, and all the little things nobody really sees. You don’t always step back and realize that the same place can mean something completely different to someone else. To them, it might be a memory. It might be a tradition. It might be a piece of growing up in Port Hope.

Reading all of those messages reminded me that Jim’s has never really just been ours. In a lot of ways, it has belonged to Port Hope too. I’m proud, but more than anything, I’m grateful. Thank you to everyone who took the time to comment, message, share a story, mention an old memory, or remind us that this little place has meant something to people over the years.

From our family, thank you.

Truly. ~Trevor

Over the last little while, a lot of people have been asking me how I feel about the new chain pizzerias moving into Port Hope. It has come up enough times now that, rather than trying to answer everyone individually, I thought it made sense to share my thoughts here.

Jim’s Pizza & Pasta was established in 1970, and I’ve personally been part of the business since 1989. My family’s connection to this community goes back generations, and Port Hope has been a huge part of our lives through changing times, changing downtowns, difficult economies, and even a pandemic. That is something I have always appreciated.

There are a lot of hardworking people operating businesses in town, and I respect that. At the same time, Jim’s remains the only independently operated pizzeria in Port Hope with no franchise ties, no outside ownership group, and no connection to a larger pizza network. I think that is something worth mentioning.

One of the most rewarding parts of being here this long has been watching so many local young people work with us through high school, college, and university, then go on to build careers and families of their own. A lot of them still stop in years later just to say hello. Now our own children are part of the business too, which adds another layer of meaning to all of this for our family.

We’ve always tried to approach what we do with care and pride. For me, this business has never just been about selling pizza. It has been about relationships, community, and being part of a town that has been part of our family’s life for generations.

Port Hope has changed a lot over the years, but some things still matter. One of the things I have always loved about this town is how many truly independent businesses are still part of it.

I’m proud that Jim’s continues to be part of Port Hope’s story after all these years.
