SASKATOON Blake Olafson owns Gould Home Recreation in Saskatoon and, like many small business owners, was looking for a way to increase the e-Commerce presence for his business during the pandemic. “Especially with the way times are right now. Amazon, Wayfair they’re our biggest competition, and they re very easy to shop on,” he said. When he was approached by Local House, he said he signed the contract immediately. “It was definitely one of those moments of ‘Why didn t I think of that?’” he said. Local House, created by Saskatoon business owner Mike LePage, is an online shopping resource designed for small and local businesses to get their products to their customers quickly.
