Our
store was originally opened in 1910, and has been a landmark in
Victoria ever since. |
Our
web site offers good mail-order clientele.
The
web site is written with a Microsoft Access database
backend. We print out paper catalogs which are based on the
same database. Every time we modify the catalog, all we have
to do is upload a revision to the website to synchronize the
two. Adding/subtracting items from the database requires a
simple change in the database sitting on your home pc, once done,
simply ftp it to the web site.
The
mail-order customer database has the same structure. |

We
are a member of the Retail Merchant Association, this entitles us
to discounts on Visa, MasterCard, and Amex and Interac service

We
offer imported candies, groceries and soft drinks from
England. We also have Belgian chocolates (includes your
company logo in chocolate as corporate gift). We also sell
greeting cards which provide a good return on investment based on
square footage used. |

years. |
