Fort St. John’s Bold Promotions acquires fellow Dawson Creek business

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A local promotional business has announced plans to purchase a fellow business in Dawson Creek.

Fort St. John-based Bold Promotions said in a press release on Monday, May 12th it has acquired the Promo Shoppe, a promotional business with its founding tracing back to 1982.

The acquisition allows Promo Shoppe founder Theresa Hunter to retire, with the takeover becoming final as of June 1st.

Bold Promotions owner Samantha Warren described Hunter to Energeticcity.ca as a “mentor” in her career.

“[Theresa] helped me with the starting stages of my company,” said Warren. “There was always talk that whenever it was time for her to sell, that I would love to have the opportunity to be able to purchase [the Promo Shoppe].

“I got to sit down with her and pick her mind about how far she has gone in her career. She had introduced me to a lot of our suppliers. She showed me by creating these relationships that can get me further within my career in the industry as well. Whenever we were in a bind, we were both there to help each other.”

Specializing in logo creation and company branding, Bold Promotions features services in silk screening, digital imprint, debossing, laser engraving, embossing, heat press, true edge transfer, embroidery and patching.

“Anything from t-shirts, hats or apparel,” said Warren. “Anything that helps your corporate brand, we help with that.”

While the news is official, the entire rebranding of the Promo Shoppe at 1441 100th Avenue in Dawson Creek will become the black bull of Bold Promotions starting on June 1st.
