Gone But Not Forgotten
Why are these businesses gone?
Some owners retire, some move, some die, and they have no one to carry on business. Some businesses are in a poor location or there is not enough profit.
Some were desirable enough to get bought out - a Canadian Tradition.
Often there are just not enough sales, frequently caused by the ever expanding competition from big box stores and franchises.
Deal Locally is a win/win proposition and additionally provides an easy, cost-effective way to support your community while communicating the value of all your business offers. Let the savings begin!"
