To waste time, especially in indecision; dawdle or vacillate.
On Commercial Drive right here in Vancouver, don’t be surprised to find a new toy store in the name of Dilly Dally. It is owned by two successful entrepreneurs, Claire Hutchings and Tyler Quantz, who have inspired an interest in creating a space where kids could “create, build, imagine and dream”. Inside their store has countless toys for kids to play around with, including a specific space for “kids to test out pencils and crayons, and pin their art on the walls.”
Hutchings and Quantz took a risk to open up this unique toy store by the financial support of a bank loan and family contributions. As mentioned in class, when would it be considered acceptable to receive money from a family member? I think the benefits would outweigh the costs if there is a mutual understanding established between the involved individuals regarding the consequences that could happen if everything were to fail.
Instead, the two toy store entrepreneurs have succeeded in their business and are now planning to launch an e-commerce toy store to sell more of their hidden secrets to the children across Canada.
