One great thing during this pandemic is seeing larger businesses actually trying to help out smaller ones. You could as the bigger player just sit by and see your smaller competition disappear, but in many cases that could also affect the overall health of the local community and helping innovation as well when you think about it. For example, it might be cheaper to buy wholesale items overseas and resell them, but we do need locally made products as well. Especially during times like this with the worldwide shutdown.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why it was great to see this where the company London Drugs is actually offering small businesses the ability to place their products on its store shelves to sell products. There are certain restrictions though as stated on the site:<\/p>\n

\"london<\/a><\/p>\n

-Must have a valid Canadian business license or permit.
\n-Business must be based in Western Canada (BC, AB, SK, MB).
\n-No alcohol, cannabis or tobacco products.
\n-Products must be physical items (cannot be service-based).
\n-Businesses deemed essential services (e.g. grocery stores) and are operating at full capacity do not qualify.

Either way, it\u2019s a great opportunity for small business owners and a generous offer from London Drugs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
