Dear Bruno,
This week the Gabriola Island Chamber of Commerce held the 2024 Business Awards Ceremony and announced:
Business of the Year: Ground Up Cafe & Catering
Best New Business: Island Meat & Deli
U40 Entrepreneur: The Swap Shop
We are thrilled to be highlighting these three businesses in the coming months and so pleased that Gabriola has an amazing business community that supports their peers.
Your business was also nominated this year!
When nominations are being submitted back in January, there is an opportunity for community members to leave a comment, and give permission to share these comments afterwards. (note that there may have been additional comments shared with the Chamber, but only passing along comments with public permission).
For Bruno's Kitchen & Catering:
" The owner was so nice and the location was so amazing..."
I am taking time this weekend to share a comment or two that has left an impact on the review committee and will hopefully also be heartwarming to you, as you continue the hard work of managing your business. These comments also have value - sharing words of affirmation or positive customer feedback shows that real people have had great experiences with your business, making it more trustworthy and appealing to customers. You may wish to include these comments on your website, social media, or other outreach materials this year.
On behalf of the Gabriola Island Chamber of Commerce I want to thank you for your continued service to the Gabriola community. We know how hard you are working and care about your success. We are here to support local business.
Sincerely,
The Gabriola Chamber respectfully acknowledges that the land on which we live and work is the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Snuneymuxw First Nation.
