Amazon leaves Quebec: an opportunity to support our local businesses

Recently, the announcement of Amazon's withdrawal from several activities in Quebec created a shockwave among consumers and small businesses. This decision, although surprising, represents a unique opportunity for Quebecers to reorient their purchasing habits and turn to local businesses. At LaCowboyerie.ca, we see this situation as an opportunity to strengthen our commitment to Canadian businesses, and more specifically, Quebec businesses.

Why is Amazon leaving Quebec?

Amazon, the global e-commerce giant, cited strategic reasons for its partial withdrawal from the Quebec market. Between rising operating costs and growing consumer expectations, some activities were simply no longer profitable for them. However, this departure leaves a void that local businesses are ready to fill, with quality products and personalized service.

A local shift: our commitment to local businesses

As a proudly Canadian company, we strongly believe in the importance of supporting the local economy. We are committed to working with Canadian suppliers, manufacturers and artisans, and whenever possible, Quebecois. Our trucker clothing collections include brands like Kenworth, Peterbilt and Caterpillar, which are recognized for their exceptional quality and relevance to road workers.

Why support Quebec businesses?

  1. Strengthening the local economy : Every dollar spent at a Quebec company contributes directly to creating and maintaining jobs here in our community.

  2. Reducing carbon footprint : By choosing locally manufactured products, we limit long-distance transport and, therefore, greenhouse gas emissions.

  3. Encourage local innovation : Small Quebec businesses are often at the forefront in terms of design and engineering, with products that specifically meet the needs of local consumers.

At LaCowboyerie.ca, we offer clothing and accessories designed specifically for the needs of truckers. Whether you are a fan of Kenworth, Peterbilt or Caterpillar, our collections offer the perfect balance of style, durability and functionality.

How consumers can make a difference

  1. Buy Locally : Take the time to research local alternatives before turning to large multinationals.

  2. Share your discoveries : Encourage your friends and family to discover local businesses.

  3. Value quality : Local products are often synonymous with superior quality. By choosing Quebec products, you get excellent value for money.

A promising future for local businesses

With Amazon leaving Quebec, it is time for us, as consumers, to redefine our priorities. Supporting local businesses like LaCowboyerie.ca is not just an economic act: it is a statement of belonging and solidarity with our community.
