Six ways that you can support small local <\/span>businesses<\/span> in the Edmonton area in 2021<\/span> <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Small businesses struggling due to coronavirus need our support right now. While times have been tough for all of us lately, small businesses are especially hard hit by local shutdowns and safety protocols that limit their in-person customers. With the holiday season just behind us, small businesses were able to see a bump in business, but January and the months that follow tend to be slow times for all, as many people spend less after the holiday season. Even though many doors are not open, there are several ways you can help keep small businesses going. Below, you can see how our Sherwood Ford team does six things that you can also do to make a giant difference in our communities. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You can help local businesses like Nitza\u2019s Pizzas keep their doors open in 2021<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even though the doors of restaurants in Alberta are closed due to coronavirus, curbside pickup is helping small businesses like Nitza\u2019s Pizza <\/a>to keep going with local support. If you\u2019ve never been to Nitza\u2019s Pizza, we encourage you to order your first pizza from them. To stay socially distanced, you can use curbside pickup or delivery to order from local restaurants.  <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why should you want to support local <\/span>businesses<\/span> in Sherwood Park and Leduc?<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 1989 by Peter Giannakopouylous, Nitza\u2019s Pizza is a local pizza chain that first opened its doors in Sherwood Park 8 years ago. Peter renamed his restaurant after his niece, NItza, in her memory. Nitza\u2019s Pizza is an avid supporter of the Stollery Hospital Foundation, also in memory of Nitza. They also support local sports and other organizations in the area through fundraisers and employ 150 local employees between their two locations in Sherwood Park and their third location in Leduc, including locally employed delivery drivers. They are a prime example of why we need local businesses in our community because they give back to and employ the people that you care about. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
