Retail Sector
Making up 19% of the market, the retail sector is the largest industry in West Parry Sound. Business owners, executives and professionals return to the region year after year for cottage country life, as seasonal residents, ready to shop at your business venture. Year round the population is 20,000 full-time residents with 80,000 seasonal residents.
Surrounded by natural resources, many retailers have established a growing market of organic products, too:
Live . Love. Lake
Award winning subscription or one time purchase seasonal gift boxes that support local artisans in the Parry Sound - Muskoka Region. Experience Cottage Country at your door all year round.
Live. Love. Lake was created when I (Rachel) was excited to receive another online box of my own. It was so fun to anticipate something coming in the mail and see what was in the surprise box. My mom and I got thinking about all the local talent that we see every day around us in Parry Sound Muskoka. We thought, wouldn’t it be much more fun to get something local and Canadian, and try products made by local businesses that we an easily support on an ongoing basis? So, we thought why not us? Together we started Live. Love. Lake to showcase the talent in Parry Sound Muskoka and to bring the enjoyment and experience of Canadian Cottage Country everywhere, with every season.
Our Services
The retail sector is primarily in a walk-in store location, however, as this area is primarily a seasonal area, many of the stores are moving to online sales when the tourists are not in town.
