MONTREAL CALLING

The latest from Roots Centreville

Here at The Source, we always enjoy hearing from the staff in Roots stores. This week, we received this dispatch from our friends in the Quebec flagship store filling us in on some recent developments at Roots Centreville.
Store Manager Aran Pamplona writes: “Carrie-Ann Kloda is our new Assistant Manager. She's very excited about her new position, as we are to have her. We'd also like to congratulate Christina Ferreira on her promotion to Third Key. We wish both of them lots of success.
“Tourists love coming to Centreville and getting exclusive beaver gear to bring back home. With the arrival of the warm weather, this is tourist time par excellence. Montreal summers are jam packed with events and festivals. Last week, it was great to see all the tourists who came to Montreal for the Grand Prix and we're gearing up for those coming to town for the Jazz Fest and the Just For Laughs Festival. It's fun to see their enthusiasm.
“Our participation in Montreal’s Festival de Mode and Design last Friday was a big hit. Store managers from the region were all invited to see the fashion show and everyone loved getting a glimpse at the great new Roots fall collection. We want to thank Michael Budman and Anisha Pillay for their support and being here for the event. Extra special thanks to Michael for taking out all the managers for dinner after the Sensation Mode fashion show and giving one of his famous encouraging pep talks.
“Meanwhile, Sales Associate Nicole Woodward had an impressive sale this week when she sold three leather jackets to one customer! Thanks to Andrew McCurbin for the leather PK (Product Knowledge) seminar he presented to our region recently. It definitely proved helpful and inspirational.”
