Pick and Pack

School supply shopping can be as easy as a quick email. Avoid the crowds this summer. Monk Office is once again offering their free Pick and Pack program until Sept. 11.

CEO Caitlin McKenzie says Pick and Pack allows families more flexibility when it comes to shopping for their school supplies.

“We know that summers are busy,”says McKenzie.“We wanted to offer a solution that lets shoppers skip the lineups and not have to worry about finding specific items on their lists, at the same time, leaving room to add some personal touches to their school kit as well.”

McKenzie recently stepped into the role of CEO & President – a position her father,James, and grandfather,Ron, have each held since the family-run business was opened in 1951 – so this Back to School season is extra special.

“Ever since I was a little girl, Back to School shopping was an exciting time,”she said.“I love seeing families and students buzzing with energy and I think they’ll be delighted when they see some of the new products we have coming in this year.” Fully stocked with Vancouver Island in mind, Monk has all the products on Back to School lists, plus all the latest in must-have accessories.

No more navigating the isles looking for a special binder or specific type of pen. Monk Office has already checked the school lists to ensure a one-stop-shop. Email, call or drop off your list to your closest Monk Office store, 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 box filled with everything for the school will be waiting at your nearest store.
