RETAILER SPOTLIGHT Bradshaws ABOUT THE STORE Located in Stratford, Ontario, Bradshaws is almost as renowned as the town’s Shake- speare Festival. As one of Canada’s oldest independent retail stores, it opened in 1895 and has persevered through the challenges of the Spanish flu, the Great Depression, two World Wars and now, Coronavirus. ABOUT THE OWNERS Well ahead of the trending mass exodus from big cities to more rural locales, Carrie Wreford, along with her husband Jeremy took a leap of faith and moved from Toronto to Stratford back in 2006 to take over Brad- shaws, which has been owned and operated by Jeremy’s family for three generations. ABOUT THE PAST YEAR W&P BY VERY GREAT BRANDS Carrie not only excels at all things retail, she has with tireless grit and determination transformed the ever-changing restrictions for traditional in-store shopping into an opportunity to embrace ecommerce and digital marketing. She’s mastered Instagram, maintains a blog, produces video content and, most recently, produced Bradshaw’s first-ever digital magazine. www.bradshaws.ca CARRIE’S NEW FAVOURITES This spring, Carrie is filling the store with all things fruity, floral and fun.
