New to the neighbourhood

Holiday hours, parking and delivery days, in one place.
Special orders by request
Party trays, a birthday cake, a turkey for Thanksgiving, sent by email.
In a grocer's week
Where a store website actually helps
Thursday night planning
Regulars check the specials
Your weekly deals are on your site, and the QR code on last week's receipt brings people straight to them.
Before a party
Special orders come in by request
Someone orders party trays or a deli platter for Saturday from their phone; you confirm by email and have it ready.
Products, specials and hours
Your counters, your local producers and this week's deals
An independent grocer wins on what the chain can't copy: the butcher who knows regulars by name, the farm that drops off the eggs every Tuesday, the aisle of foods from home for half the neighbourhood. That's the story your site should tell first, with a page for whatever you're known for.
Show the store, not a stock list. Your departments with real photos, the local farms and producers you carry, the deli counter, the bakery and the hot table. That's what makes someone drive past the big chain to come to you.
Put this week's specials where people look. You post them from your phone; the same page sits behind the QR code on your receipts and shelf signs. A digital flyer is cheaper than paper and reaches people who never see the mailbox one.
Some shopping needs planning: party trays, a turkey, a birthday cake, a platter for a wedding. A request form lands in your email with the date and the details, and you confirm with a reply.
Your QR codes, included
Put your website in every bag that leaves your store
Your site comes with 3 branded QR codes, ready for print. Point a phone camera at one and your page opens, no app needed.
ReceiptsNext week's specials, one scan away
Reusable bagsYour store comes home with every shopper
Shelf signs and displaysRecipes, local producers and pairings
Neighbourhood flyersPaper that leads to this week's deals
A screen by the entrance or the till?
A screen that sells this week's specials
Every shopper walks past the entrance and waits at the till. A screen there can show this week's deals, what's fresh from local farms and the next tasting, with a QR code to the specials page they can check in the aisle.
- This week's specials, changed from your phone
- Local and seasonal, what just came in
- Tastings and events, dates and what's on
Most smart TVs with a web browser can show it, with no extra box. You change what's on screen from your phone, using the same photos and videos as your site, and a QR code on screen lets people book or save an offer on their own phone.

What grocers ask us
Can customers shop and pay online?
There's no shopping cart. Your site shows your store and specials and takes special orders by request; if you deliver through an app, a button can lead there.
Can I post the weekly flyer myself?
Yes, from the app, as photos or a list of deals. It takes a few minutes each week.
We have a deli, a bakery and a hot table. Can each have its own page?
Yes. The deli and the bakery often bring people in first, and the weekly shop follows.
Can customers order party trays or a cake?
Yes. A request form asks for the item, the date and pickup time, and lands in your email.
We support local farms. Can each one be featured?
Yes, with a short story and a photo. Shoppers come to independent stores for exactly that.
Can the site show our holiday hours?
Yes. Update them from the app before Thanksgiving, Christmas and every long weekend, and the page and the QR codes stay right.
Can I start with just a digital card?
You can. The Digital Business Card gives you one page with everything people need to call you or save your contact, plus a QR code, for $99 a year. Move up to a full site whenever it makes sense.
Does the site help with Google?
It gives Google something solid to read: a page for each service, your neighbourhood and your contact details, built to load fast on phones. Nobody can promise a position for "grocery store near me", and anyone who does is guessing.
When does billing start, and is anything extra?
Billing starts the day you approve your draft: $299 a year. Until then you pay nothing. The one extra is your own domain name (like yourmarket.ca), bought separately if you want one.
See your store website before you pay anything.
Send us a few details. Your free draft is ready in about 3 days.
