With today's announcement that all of Manitoba is entering the 'red zone' of the pandemic response plan, all non-essential retail businesses will have to close ...their doors to the public starting on Thursday, November 12. This includes us. However, we'll still be here by phone at 204-475-0483 or online at mcnallyrobinson.com! We'll be available by phone during regular business hours, which will remain the same: 10 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday and 10 AM to 6 PM on Sundays. Meanwhile our online store is open 24/7. We will continue to offer curbside pickup at Grant Park, next day delivery within Winnipeg, and shipping anywhere in the world with Canada Post. One big thing to note: These government restrictions apply to all non-essential retail businesses, which is going to seriously change how we all do our holiday shopping this year. Thus we suggest you GET YOUR ORDERS IN AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to us so that we can process and deliver your gifts before Christmas! This year you definitely DO NOT want to wait to do last-minute holiday shopping because that may not even be a possibility if stores are forced to keep their doors closed. Do your shopping from a distance now so that there's plenty of time for everything to arrive before the holidays. Thank you for supporting an independent, locally-owned business during the pandemic, and we wish you all the best of health. Stay safe, stay home, and do your part for the common good.
