During these unprecedented times, it is important that we support our local businesses if we are able to do so. Some of your favourite shops are still operating and could use your help to stay open!
Read on for our list of only some of the various businesses still operating in Whitby. Also remember to check on your other favourite closed local businesses to see if you can support them in other ways, such as buying gift cards for later use.
Le Petit Boutique
Facebook | Instagram | Shop
While Le Petit Boutique’s storefront is closed, you can still support all your favourite in house designers by shopping online. Currently, they are offering $10 flat rate shipping across Canada and $2 local delivery.
Why not buy a small gift for a friend and send it to them? In these trying times, we could all use a little bit of cuteness!
B/A Vintage
Facebook | Instagram | Email: [email protected]
B/A Vintage’s shop is closed, but Trish still goes into the shop to accommodate all your curbside pickups on Wednesdays—just make sure you contact her first! This is the perfect time to tackle that DIY list, so call the shop or message them on Facebook or Instagram to get one step closer to repainting that old dresser.
Follow them on Facebook for all of Trish’s wonderful DIY videos and product reviews, as well as fresh updates on B/A Vintage’s offerings.
Crystal Bliss
Facebook | Instagram | Shop
Crystal Bliss not only sells lovely crystals, but also many different types of incense, smudge sticks, and tarot cards—everything you need to feed your spirit during this trying time. While their brick-and-mortar store is closed, they are offering curbside pickup! Simply browse their Instagram or Facebook page, DM them a photo of your choices, confirm and pay for your order, and arrange your pick-up.
This time is tough on everyone; make sure you have conversations about mental health with your family during this time and reach out to those who you think may be lonely if you can. Maybe even buy a crystal or some incense for a friend to enjoy!
So, we have some bad news. Unfortunately Turquoise Boutique is closed until further notice, as this message from their charming and professional CEO will tell you. But we wanted to feature them because of the special request they have made: to donate non-perishable food items to local food banks. You can donate items to any of these food banks in Durham, and we encourage you to do so if you can!
For now, until Turquoise reopens, follow them on Facebook; your comments, likes and shares help to keep their social media presence alive and serve as encouragement during these trying times.
Brock Street Espresso
Facebook | Instagram | Shop
A closed storefront should not get in the way of satisfying our coffee cravings—and we are glad Brock St. Espresso agrees! While you cannot go into the shop and grab a cup right now, they are offering gift cards and their Ace and Turbo blends for you to enjoy at home. Use the form on their website to submit your order and sit back until you get an email (make sure to check your spam folder!).
