Granville Island Delivery Co. Launches Campaign to Support Granville Island

If you have been hesitant to go to Granville Island during COVID, why not let Granville Island deliver to you.  Here is the press release about their offering.

~~~

Vancouver, B.C. (August 10, 2020): In March, Michelle Ng, founder of Vancouver Foodie Tours launched Granville Island Foodie Delivery days after pausing food tours due to the pandemic. With deliveries in full swing, Michelle and her team took on the challenge of finding more ways to give back to the Granville Island community. Today marks the launch of their new website Granville Island Delivery Co. (GIDC), as well as their #GranvilleIslandLuv campaign to further rally community support.

 

Customers can shop on the new and improved website, GranvilleIslandDelivery.co for Public Market favourites from popular merchants such as Lee’s Donuts, Oyama Sausage Co., Benton Brother’s Fine Cheese, and much more. The GIDC team has put their 10 years of Public Market expertise to good use in building curated baskets, including Wellness in a Box, Charcuterie and Cheese, Yes Please!, and Sweet Treat, perfect for gifting. For specialized seasonal goods, don’t miss the monthly Market Box, with items personally selected by Michelle to reflect the best of the season. Whether to select a few items or opt for curated baskets, the new site allows shoppers to browse and order easily online.

The one-stop-shop brings together multiple Granville Island merchants on one online platform, where shoppers can browse the pages like they would the aisles of a market, from the comfort and safety of their own homes (without those pesky seagulls). The website also features “Meet the Artisans” series, a detailed behind-the-scenes look at the talented artisans of the Public Market and Granville Island.

Along with the new website, GIDC launches #GranvilleIslandLuv campaign to directly benefit the merchants of Granville Island who are facing unprecedented levels of change and revenue losses due to the pandemic. The first goal is to raise awareness of the community’s challenges as most vendors do not have an avenue to promote or sell their goods online. The majority of Granville Island businesses rely on foot traffic for sales, an important and valued portion of which are local Vancouverites, and a large portion of which is generated by national and international tourism. Every purchase made through GranvilleIslandDelivery.co helps support small businesses. With a purchase of any curated baskets or monthly Market Box, $5 of each sale benefit merchants in need. That is not all, a social media contest featuring the hashtag #GranvilleIslandLuv asks followers to share a photo of Granville Island or goods purchased from a Granville Island merchant to win the monthly Market Box.

“We are excited to provide our support for Granville Island merchants,” says Michelle Ng, president & founder of Granville Island Delivery Co. “It’s more important than ever to support local merchants, artisans and their craftsmanship. With Granville Island Delivery Co., our aim is to spread joy with each package, while uplifting the Granville Island community.”

The delivery service offers free shipping for orders $99 and over in Vancouver, or $10 discount on flat rate shipping in Greater Vancouver via local courier Novex. For more information on delivery rates, products, and online orders, visit GranvilleIslandDelivery.co.

About Granville Island Delivery Co.

Michelle Ng, President & Founder of Vancouver Foodie Tours, started her renowned guided food tour company in 2010 out of a passion for food, people, and the multicultural city of Vancouver. In March 2020, with the support of CMHC Granville Island, Michelle launched Granville Island Delivery Co. to spotlight the legacy of Vancouver’s iconic culinary and cultural destination. To this day, the company is committed to supporting Granville Island merchants and restaurant partners by bringing the best Public Market experience to residents of Greater Vancouver. GranvilleIslandDelivery.co

8 Ways Rocky Mountain Flatbread Is Serving Families, Front Line Workers And Community During The Pandemic

I received this notification by Rocky Mountain Flatbread on how they are offering to help families and front line workers, and our community in general during the COVID-19 crisis.  

~~~

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 8 WAYS ROCKY MOUNTAIN FLATBREAD IS SERVING FAMILIES, FRONT LINE WORKERS AND COMMUNITY DURING THE PANDEMIC Rocky Mountain Flatbread – like many independent restaurants in BC – is working hard to stay afloat in this unprecedented global pandemic, and owners Dominic and Suzanne Fielden are facing the challenge head-on with the community in mind. In recent weeks, the Fieldens quickly changed their two Vancouver family restaurants to the required take out and delivery-only model but were forced to temporarily close their new Surrey franchise location. The resulting loss of staff and business has been very difficult for everyone involved but this husband and wife team are not giving up. They jumped into action with a creative brainstorming process, asking themselves, “How can we best serve the Vancouver community during this pandemic?”  “There are challenging times ahead for small independent restaurants, indeed all of us Vancouverites, but it is a little bit more bearable if you feel you can make a small positive difference in a time of crisis,” explains Suzanne. Keeping community in mind, these are the 8 ways that Rocky Mountain Flatbread will support families, front line workers and hospitality staff through the pandemic:     1. KEEPING OUR STAFF & GUESTS SAFE Rocky Mountain Flatbread has always followed strict Vancouver Coastal Health and Safety Policies, and are following all of the new policies recommended by Public Health in BC. Staff follow the COVID-19 motto:  Stay healthy, Stay safe, Wash your hands, Always social distance, and Disinfect ALL surfaces. 2. CONTACTLESS ONLINE ORDERING, PICKUP AND DELIVERY Rocky’s full menu of pizzas, pastas and salads are available for takeout and delivery. Here’s how: Effect immediately, customers can make and pay for orders by phone with contactless curbside or patio pick up from 4 – 8 pm daily at our Kitsilano and Main Street restaurants. Find us in Kitsilano at 1876 W 1st Street or on Main Street at 4186 Main Street. As of April 2, Rocky Mountain Flatbread is launching an online pre-order and payment store on their website RockyMountainFlatbread.ca to allow online ordering!  Contactless delivery options are available through Door Dash, Skip the Dishes and Uber Eats. 3. FRONT LINE WORKERS – 25% DISCOUNT and FREE DELIVERY To say thank you to emergency service front line workers for their tireless efforts during the pandemic, Rocky Mountain Flatbread is offering 25% off all regular priced take out menu items. Because it’s difficult for many front line workers to pick up, Dominic and Suzanne are personally offering to deliver to front line teams and individuals for orders over $100. Rocky is also partnering with the crowdfunding project Feed the Front Line Canada. The mission is simple: support our local healthcare and hospital heroes who are working in wartime-like conditions and support our local restaurants who are really hurting during this period. So far over $28,000 has been raised, and every Sunday Rocky Mountain Flatbread will be handcrafting 80+ pizzas to feed front line emergency workers.  4. FAMILY PROMOTIONS This is a tough time for families who are stuck staying at home… Newly created for Vancouver families is the $60 Family Meal for take out! The Family Meal includes: To Start:  two Small Soups or Salad | Mains: two regular-sized traditional or artisan pizzas | Kids Meal:  two kids mozza pizzas | Dessert: four house-made double chocolate brownies. Cost: $60 (includes $20 discount). And you just might have leftovers for the next day! 5. FAMILY PIZZA MAKING KITS Families have always loved to visit Rocky Mountain Flatbread restaurants to create their own pizzas – in fact so did the grown ups! Welcome to the new Family Pizza Making Kit so everyone can still make their own pizza at home!  Included is the dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella, toppings and easy to follow instructions. Cost: $13 per kid | $18 per adult.  6. FROZEN PIZZA AT WHOLESALE PRICES Everyday the Rocky team is busy handcrafting pizzas to sell in the frozen section of stores such as Safeway, Choices, Nesters, Whole Foods and other independent grocers. The 10-inch handcrafted frozen pizzas are offered at affordable prices for pick up at both Vancouver locations. Cost: $7.50 – 8 each. 7.  COMMUNITY PARTNER WITH STAFF MEAL  Rocky Mountain Flatbread has joined forces with the folks at Say Mercy, creating $5 to $10 Staff Meals for people in the hospitality industry who are out of work and for anyone in need. Rocky shall soon be selling very affordable chillis, curries, pizzas and soups at both Vancouver locations.  An additional $2 is automatically added to bills to be donated to the food bank – which so many people are relying on now. Order a Staff Meal on the Say Mercy website by 2 pm; pickup will be at our Main Street or Kitsilano locations. Vancouverites can also donate a staff meal to a person in need. How cool is that?  8.  COMMUNITY PARTNER WITH BREAKING BREAD Breaking Bread is an online hub encouraging Vancouverites to support local independent restaurants who are offering take out and delivery options during these unprecedented times. There are many ways to help including: Stay safe, Stay healthy, Wash your hands, Support local!  “Our hearts absolutely go out to everyone who has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. We appreciate all the support we have received for our business, and we know at the end of the day we’re going to get through this crisis together,” says Suzanne.

Available on both the lunch and dinner menus at all six Vancouver locations, Tractor’s latest fall offerings include a wholesome variety of everyday staples like veggie-packed salads, sandwiches, soups and stews all made with nutritious, heart-healthy ingredients. With a focus on creating sustainable, high-quality fare, Tractor’s culinary team prepares all menu items on-site in small batches to ensure freshness and minimize food waste. Highlights on the new seasonal menu include a hearty, protein-packed Turkey Chili made with lean ground turkey, black beans and chickpeas; a house-made vegan Beet and Walnut Burger topped with avocado parsley spread and pickled red onions; and a vegan Kale Caesar Salad featuring a creamy hummus and cashew dressing and garlic-roasted chickpeas.
