A central Edmonton boutique has won the title of Canada’s best restroom.

Majesty and Friends is the winner of the 2022 Cintas Canada’s Best Restroom Contest, which showcases the best public washrooms in the country.

“We’re so honoured to win the coveted title of Canada’s Best Restroom,” said Julie Morrison, the boutique’s owner.

“When we opened this location last year, I put all my savings into it, to make our shop a truly memorable and fun destination for our community. I’m so grateful to Cintas for highlighting our business, and to the Edmonton community and our customers for their overwhelming support.”
