TORONTO, May 22, 2020 /CNW/ - Now more than ever,
restaurants and bars need Canada's
support. That's why Corby Spirit and Wine has launched the
#StillOpen campaign designed to connect Canadians to local takeout
and delivery options in their area.
At corby.ca/stillopen, restaurant lovers can find a list of
geo-targeted restaurants and bars in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia
(Alberta coming soon) that are
supporting their communities by offering delivery and takeout food
as well as Corby's products.
The website also features a contest where viewers can enter for
a chance to win a $100 gift card for
a restaurant near them.
The campaign website will be supported by a social media ad
campaign featuring Corby brands like J.P. Wiser's whisky and
Jacob's Creek Wine alongside takeout bags and containers.
According to Restaurants Canada, the economic shut down in response to
the pandemic has put 800,000 foodservice workers out of a job —
nearly two-thirds of the industry's workforce. An estimated 10 per
cent of all Canadian restaurants have already shut their doors for
good, and if the pandemic persists, as many as half of all
independently owned restaurants won't be re-opening. Increasing
takeout and delivery orders is key to ensuring the Canadian
hospitality industry stays afloat.
Show your support by ordering from your favourite local
restaurant and make any day #TakeOut Day.
