#foreverfriendly

Many of us have been operating here in Almonte for quite a while.

We know the realities of running a small business in a rural Ontario town.

Whether it's an inclement snowstorm or traffic diverting construction, we're pretty well-versed in navigating our way through to the other side of adversity.

But this current situation?

Well, it's got us all a bit rattled.

How do we plan for the future in such an insecure time?

How do we keep our employees feeling secure when we aren't feeling secure ourselves?

What if it's months before we can reopen our doors to the street and the people we care about so much?

We could wait a few weeks and see what happens.

Or we can take the action we need to take to keep it together and survive the storm.

As always, we're working together to give those of you who are in a position to help, an easy path to do so.

We want to be here when this pandemic is behind us.

With your help, we're confident we will be.

Sincerely,

your loyal Almonte merchants (and friends)

Now is the time, since most of us have quite a bit of it, to recommend and review your favorite places to sip, shop and stop in Almonte. Our hearts do a happy dance every time we see a new review or recommendation, it really tells us that you appreciate us and want us to stick around for the long haul.

Did you know that people are 90% more likely to trust (and buy from) a brand that has been recommended by a friend?! That's HUGE! Just think of the impact you can have simply by saying you bought that super cute top at the local clothing boutique, or love the coffee at this great little cafe. Just make sure your word of mouth referrals are happening from a least 6ft apart!
