We own Iron Age Welding. I have posted all of our available product on our Facebook page. Our cutoff for guaranteed Christmas orders is Dec 4th. We offer contactless pickup or curbside as well (we are located 1 mile NE of Brandon).
We also have our items available at Mainly Manitoba in the Shoppers Mall, Cowtown on the North Hill and Inspire in Minnedosa. All locations are doing curbside as well.
Dunes on Rosser has an exclusive line of Iron Age items. I am pretty sure she is doing curbside as well.

Dollarama

I can only speak of the one in the mall, have no idea about the other one (or Loonie Twoons). Dollarama in the mall are selling only essential item. It is in store, and they are not (at least as of right now) doing curbside pickup in any way.

Curbside
11/24/2020 at 3:34 PM

Windsor Plywood is another offering curbside. Orders by phone or email (sales@windorplywood.net) with payment by phone or on-site when doing pickup.

Not quite a traditional retail store, but another if folks are looking for gift-ish stuff by curbside is the Weiming Zhao calendar that he's doing with Webber Printing. Offering by phone with pickup at Webber's, payment at pickup or by phone. Wrote a little more at:

Bulk Barn

Bulk Barn is another that continues to offer curbside since they rolled it out earlier in the pandemic. Orders are through their website with payment on pickup. They're able to offer curbside payment to those who request it.

Shopped

at Hickory Farms at Shoppers Mall. I called in my order, paid by credit card (could have gone in to the store to pay cash) then used curbside pickup.

Excellent service!!

Can someone tell me if the 5.00 dollar pickup fee has always been in place for curb side pickup ?

There has been a fee ever since the service was started years ago. There was a brief period during the pandemic that they waived the fees, but otherwise it's always existed. It ranges from $3-$5 depending on the time of day/day of the week, but perhaps that's changed and is always $5 now.

Not delivery or Curbside
12/13/2020 at 11:01 PM

Had a nice thing happen today. I use a cane so carrying multiple bags are hard especially if one is heavy. I had a nice gentleman who was going out offer to carry my bag in his cart out to my car for me. Haven't had that in a loooong time.

So thank-you once more and Happy Holidays!!

Sobeys at mall
12/16/2020 at 3:49 PM

Thank you so much to employees Selena and Jayda ( hope I have your names right) for filling my order. You went over and above picking out a card and birthday gift for a one year old little girl. Couldn't have done better had I been shopping in person! Also thank you for picking out a Christmas floral arrangement! Great job Sobeys!
