Support Local with the Open for Business Map

Essex- Residents in the Town of Essex looking to safely support local businesses can turn to the Open for Business Map, which features local businesses who have adapted their operations to meet the restrictions under the Provincial COVID-19 Response Framework.

Many local businesses have introduced online ordering and curbside pickup or delivery options. Others are open by appointment only or have introduced additional hours for seniors.

The businesses and service providers on the map are broken down into the following categories: Grocery, Restaurant, Healthcare, Pharmacy, Social Services, Food Bank, Professional Services and Retail. The map also notes the changes each has undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic. Users can click on each business or service providers’ icon to view operational changes, as well as contact and location information.

If you don’t see your business on the map, please fill out the business map online form to be added within 1-2 business days. Businesses who would like to modify the contents of their post can contact Nelson Silveira, Economic Development Officer, at nsilveira@essex.ca.
