240 Repaint

by Andrea
August 25th, 2011

You know that wrecker on 240th? The one with the BIG graffiti wall I wrote about June?
We’ll it’s undergoing a redo… which means a whole new mural to hypnotize us.

Kris and Alex are like every other artist: they pick at their own work and they are out there ’cause they think they can do better that the last one they did. (Plus- they probably love to do it)

Loving That Deal

by Andrea
August 24th, 2011


I just bought a great deal on dry cleaning services via lovethatdeal.ca, just in time to get my jackets freshened up for the rainy season.

Love That Deal.ca, a Maple Ridge based shopping website that offers a daily deal on local products and services, is creating buzz around town with its hyper-local focus on community.

It’s a great way to save on local Maple Ridge and surrounding area products an services, with some of the savings being up to 90% off!

The focus of Love That Deal is community – unique to other group buying sites, “Love That Deal wants people to be able to stay close to home” says Lou Sunshine, creator and CEO of this new venture. “The feedback we’ve received about group buying sites is that most of the deals are focused in core urban areas which forces shoppers to go outside their community when they normally wouldn’t. Our goal is to allow consumers to explore and support businesses in their own communities, with the added bonus of getting an amazing deal.”

Love That Deal also works with the local merchants to ensure their new customers are satisfied and that they return many times after the deal is used. “We want these businesses to gain loyal clientele from this opportunity, so we work with them to develop good relationships with the customers.” says Sunshine.

“We’re Canadian, we live in a small town…we understand the needs of people in our community and want to help our friends and neighbors.” says Sunshine. “With the power of group buying, everyone saves and our local businesses can build relationships with consumers that live next door.”
Love That Deal is currently focusing on Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows and the Tri-Cities and will soon be expanding to other communities in Greater Vancouver.
