The warehouse is located between Air Freight Shipping Partners and Canadian Customs within the EIA.

Emily Salsbury, owner and founder of EMMYDEVEAUX, said in a press release that the space will reduce shipping times for customers.

“This partnership (with EIA) strengthens our impactful and thoughtful business practices and will improve our distribution network,” she said.

Founded in 2018, most of the company’s business is done through e-commerce and online ordering, but it also has a store on 104 Street, Salsbury added.

Through its online sales, it aims to develop further in Canada, the United States and internationally.

“E-commerce plays a vital and growing role in our economy and we are proud to help small and medium-sized businesses grow by connecting them with local partners and accessing international markets,” he said. declared.

By reducing its delivery times, the new warehouse also contributes to serving EMMYDEVEAUX’s sustainable development mission.

One of the ways he pursues sustainability is his FUNDIT initiative, where Salsbury designs an item and then asks customers to choose what is to be produced through an internal crowdfunding program, as explained on the EMMYDEVEAUX website.

After the demand for the item is assessed, it is produced and c customers buy it over a two to five day period. Once a certain quantity is sold, it is considered funded and production begins. FUNDIT helps the business make the right amount for the demand and reduces wastage of fabrics and products.

EMMYDEVEAUX also operates its buy-back program which allows customers to return products already worn in exchange for gift cards to be used on other items, as part of its circular business structure.

As the warehouse opened on Thursday, it has already been operational and has been shipping orders for a few days, said Darrell Winwood, EIA’s digital and corporate spokesperson.
