This problem was the result of a strike by truck drivers and warehouse workers at Oshawa Foods, our main wholesale supplier. Over that one month period, many of our shelves were empty or halffull at best and numerous advertised specials were unavailable, thus greatly inconveniencing you, our customers. The support you showed us by continuing to shop at our store under these adverse conditions, was truly overwhelming. We are now getting back to a normal delivery schedule and we should have a good supply of most items. As always, we will gladly redeem all rainchecks for advertised items we ran short of. Thank you for your business. It is greatly appreciated. We look forward to serving you soon. Sincerely, Ross and Isabel Graham and the Staff Graham's IGA GRAHAM'S IGA, BOWMANVILLE
