Hybrid eCommerce Shops

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Reach E-Boutique Fuses Elements of Retail and eCommerce Shopping

— October 8, 2021 — Business
Toronto's Reach E-Boutique describes itself as a "hybrid retail and e-commerce store" and it makes it easier for Canadian consumers to enjoy American online shopping, even if those stores don't deliver to Canada. The store promises to help consumers save time and money, and simplify the order pickup process with a monthly membership.

After signing up, users are able to shop online from US websites and have their orders delivered to Reach's physical storefront. At the store, shoppers can make the most of on-site dressing rooms, so that they can be sure the items are to their specifications before deciding whether or not to take them home. This hybrid retail location has the potential to save Canadians cross-border shopping trips and leverage Reach's all-inclusive concierge service.
