Shout out to Sobeys west
11/19/2020 at 10:07 PM

Went to Sobeys west today and got a free bouquet of flowers! They told me that since they can’t be sold after midnight tonight, they decided to give out the remaining bouquets of flowers to customers. It was a very nice gesture in these trying times, and was truly appreciated. Thank-you Sobeys west

Sobeys West has been remarkable since the pandemic started. Enforcing protocols, responding to community needs and still finding ways to support Samaritan House, Remembrance Day poppy drives & more.
I’m so grateful for them. They have been so good to their customers all year. Cheers to their staff. You guys are awesome! Sincere thanks for all you do.

Wrong

Hopefully stores dont get this wrong.. but non essential CAN be sold after midnight. BUT... it can be sold for curbside pickup only.

Having said that keeping a healthy stock of flowers may not be necessary at this time since many people will prob wont even buy them.

Also not sure if sobeys west end has curbside pickup available.

Yes, they do have curbside pick up. I have seen people getting loaded up.

I have just not been able to find the link to put in an order. Maybe you have to phone it in??

I don't think there's a link. You have to call it in.
