About Us

The Geek Chic Boutique opened December 2008 as a little boutique in the quaint and cozy downtown area of Fredericton, NB, Canada.

We had heard a rumor that geeks were now "chic". So we shyly emerged from the safe haven of our monitor-lit computer rooms to start the store of our dreams...the geekiest store in Canada.

A place where geeks can shop for gadgets, office toys, DIY projects, apparel, accessories, award winning board games (you know...for when the server is down), and a place we can share information about Linux and open-source to the general public.

Who are we?

Florence

Since the age of five, I've been a gamer. Starting with my original Nintendo console, grew up playing King's Quest on my PC (wow, that was a long time ago), and loved strategy style board games. Always on a quest to find the ultimate game.

I'm also a big computer geek, constantly modifying my system and learning to use new programs which has lead me to becoming a huge fan of Linux and Open Source software.

Favorite celebrities - Linus Torvalds and Richard Stallman of course.

What was i doing?
Oh right.. about me.

I was avoiding this because it will be boring.

I previously existed as a code monkey, a small cog in the mega machine of corporate web development. I moved on to project manager - then something else officy and now I am here.
