One of Richmond’s best-known companies is extending a helping hand to local small businesses.
Starting today, London Drugs is offering shelf space in select stores to those who have had to close their doors because of COVID-19. Small businesses in Western Canada are welcome to submit https://nizagara-online.net products for consideration.
“This is a really hard time for many small businesses, and we are in a unique position in these challenging times where we can really help out,” said London Drugs president and CEO Clint Mahlman. “As a 75-year-old Canadian owned and operated company, we have always supported fellow Canadian businesses and now is the time more than ever to come together. As an essential service, we are here to help our local small businesses while also providing an opportunity for customers to pick up their favourite local items and support their favourite local companies.”
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business reports that only 21 per cent of small businesses in Canada are fully open due to the pandemic. Further, 50 per cent are unsure they will survive.
In select locations, London Drugs will be transforming its centre aisles into Local Central. This will be a dedicated space to help local businesses sell their products.
“Whether you sell coffee, local honey or your restaurant’s graphic T-shirts, London Drugs is here to help,” Mahlman said.
