One-Stop Supplies at Monk Office Free Pick and Pack program makes shopping quick and convenient
S
chool supply shopping can be as easy as a quick email. To help busy parents avoid the crowds this summer, Monk Office is once again offering their free Pick and Pack program up until Sept. 11. CEO Caitlin McKenzie says Pick and Pack allows families more flexibility when it comes to shopping for their list of school supplies. “We know that summers are busy,” says McKenzie. “We wanted to offer a solution that lets parents skip the lineups and not have to worry about finding specific items on their lists.” Last year, McKenzie stepped into the role of CEO and president — a position her father, James, and grandfather, Ron, have each held since the family-run
business was opened in 1951. No more navigating the aisles looking for a special binder or specific type of pen. Email or call your closest Monk Office store with your supply lists and they will do the work for you. Going on vacation? Kids at summer camp? Just let Monk know when you’ll be back, and a bag filled with everything they need for school will be waiting for you at your nearest store. If your home workspace feels less than inspiring, Monk Office’s full selection of chairs and desks for every style and budget are on sale during the month of August. Email: hello@monk.ca monk.ca
