Another LOLO gift redeemed, another local gem discovered, and a great excuse to get out and enjoy a coffee date with Carl Russell!
This time, we headed to Fringe Coffee in Montgomery, right on Bowness Road. And here's a fun little personal connection — I grew up in Bowness! ❤️ There's something special about returning to an area that holds so many memories and seeing all the wonderful local businesses that make the community what it is today.
Fringe Coffee is such a cute spot, and it was a lovely place to stop, enjoy my LOLO gift, and spend a little time together. Sometimes it's the simple outings that make the best memories. A good cup of coffee, a little conversation, and a chance to support a local business? That's my kind of outing!
And yes, before you ask, I signed myself up for LOLO, too! Why should our clients have all the fun?
What Is LOLO? Locals Supporting Locals!
If you've been following my adventures with Russell Realty, you've probably noticed me sharing some of the fun gifts I've been redeeming through LOLO.
LOLO is a client appreciation program through CIR Realty that connects registered clients with participating local businesses. The idea is simple: you have the opportunity to receive a FREE gift or treat every month from a different participating local business!
From coffee and pastries to pies, ice cream, plants, and other fun surprises, each month brings a new reason to get out and explore Calgary and the surrounding communities.
It's a wonderful way to discover new favourites, enjoy something special, and support the small businesses that make our city such a great place to call home.
The LOLO gifting zones have been divided into three areas to help connect clients with participating businesses in their region:
📍 North Calgary
📍 South Calgary
📍 Cochrane
So, if you've received a LOLO gift from me, don't let it sit around! Head out, redeem it, and enjoy the experience. If I've sent you a gift for Fringe Coffee, I promise it's worth the trip!
Why Supporting Local Means So Much to Me ❤️
Growing up in Bowness makes this particular outing extra special. Communities aren't just streets and houses; they're the people, memories, and local businesses that give a neighbourhood its personality.
As a Realtors, We love helping people find a place to call home, but we also love helping them connect with the community around them. Whether it's sharing neighbourhood information, recommending local businesses, or encouraging people to explore their own backyard, it's all part of what makes this job so rewarding.
LOLO is a fun way to keep those connections going long after the real estate paperwork is signed.
And let's be honest — having a reason to get out for coffee is never a bad thing!
Want to Be Part of the LOLO Fun?
If you're a Russell Realty client and you'd like to receive these monthly gifts, We'd love to help get you signed up and connected with the program.
Yes, I signed myself up, too, because supporting local businesses and enjoying a little surprise every month is something I can definitely get behind!
Here's to great coffee, familiar neighbourhoods, new discoveries, and supporting the local businesses that make Calgary special.
Russell Realty with CIR Realty — Locals Supporting Locals, one coffee date at a time!
