Easy Tiger Goods has become a staple on Dundas Street West. But nothing is more of a fixture than the store’s sometimes-turquoise-haired owner, Zai Rajkotwala.
In the process of crossing the street—an act that takes less than five minutes—Zai manages to compliment a passing girl on her outfit (“you killed it”), provides life advice to one her male neighbours (“you need to simplify”) and sets up a networking group for female Dundas West shop owners.
“I can really connect with people. That’s my biggest skill—relating to people and getting them to trust me,” says Zai. “I just love helping people.”
