Warm welcome in store

Random act of kindness brightens the day of a shopper in downtown Penticton

What a wonderful way to be welcomed to the downtown of Penticton. There is still kindness in the world. I did not know how to express my appreciation for an action that blessed me, tremendously, in the downtown of Penticton.

I decided to write a letter to the editor. I can only hope it makes publication, as this is our community paper. Wanting to support our downtown stores, I was meandering down the street, window shopping. As I walked passed one of our local shops, I was greeted by two young ladies with bright sunshine smiles. One asked me a question, “Would you like to be FRUV-napped?” Being hearing impaired, I asked, “Revamped?” We all laughed. “No, FRUV-napped.” Well, I was taken into the FRUV Freedomwear store and given an opportunity to pick out an outfit of my choosing.

Shelly and Cheyenne, with your assistance I not only have a fabulous new look, I was refreshed and renewed, and I am sure this is the start of a new friendship. You will never really know the effects this random act of kindness did for me on this day, and for a lifetime. Thank you, I can’t stop smiling.
