When Stacey Green checked her voicemail at work on January 8th, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. It was a message from Dollars & Cents owner Salim Dhanani telling her she had won the grand prize of $1,000 cash in the store’s recent holiday contest.

“I was in shock!” Stacey said. “I’ve never won anything like this before, I was actually trembling a bit!”.

Back in December Stacey noticed the posters and draw box in store while shopping at Dollars & Cents Willowbrook Langley location. “I went to the Facebook page  right there in the store and then filled out the ballot,” said Stacey. Her family and two dogs just moved to the Clayton Heights area in August and her daughter will be starting kindergarten this September. Stacey works as a Senior Learning Facilitator at Rogers Communications.

“I’m so thankful to Dollars & Cents! I love the store, there are so many cool things in there. My favourite aisles especially are the giftware, kitchen and toy aisles. So much cool, unique stuff at a great price!” said Stacey.

The extra cash couldn’t of come at a better time. “We discovered black mould under our countertops just last week. It seems there was a leak under the faucet that we didn’t know about. It was past the point of saving the countertops so we required a full replacement which we couldn’t really afford right now. So this money will replace our countertops!” said Stacey.

The winning didn’t stop with Stacey. 3 incredible runner up prizes were awarded to local shoppers as well:

1st Runner up – Opal Spa $300 Package: Sacha Mayhew Davenport
2nd Runner up – Parlour Day Spa $250 Package: Kelly Clayton
3rd Runner up – Vancouver Giants family of 4 tickets package: Hermine Janzen Hill

Dollars & Cents would like to thank Opal Spa for their generous prize donation as well as local media partners The Langley Times and The Langley Advance. We are excited to see our online and in-store community grow as a result of this contest and look forward to bringing our customers new contests in 2018.
