It’s more important than ever to support local. More than one in five Alberta businesses are at risk of closing due to Covid-19, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses. Help boost Alberta and save money at over 300 local AMA Rewards partners. Together, we’ve got this.
PARIS JEWELLERS
What started as a small repair shop in a St. Albert mall has grown into one of the shining lights of Canada’s jewellery industry. Sisters Chau Lui and Trang Wong took over the business from their parents in the early 2000s—they now have 23 locations and 230 employees across western Canada. “It’s really an honour when customers choose us,” says Lui. “They’re trusting us be part of their special occasion—their birthday, their anniversary, their wedding.” Save 15% on all regular price in-store jewellery
LUBE CITY
It’s “oil” in the family for this 31-year-old company. Wayne and Susan Kallis started the first two locations in 1990. Their sons, Jason Kallis and Greg Paul, now run 27 express oil-change shops with 130 employees across Alberta. They’re also part of AMA’s network of Approved Auto Repair Service (AARS) facilities. Among other things, members can get their vehicle battery tested and replaced at any Lube City location. Earn 15% in reward dollars (up to $100) on most products and services

COOKIES BY GEORGE
One bite of a Double Trouble Chocolate Chunk was all Faye Mowers needed to apply for a job at Cookies By George. She started as a store manager 35 years ago; now she co-owns the company with Judah Busheikin. They ship small-batch treats across Canada and the U.S., but Alberta cookie monsters can also pick up their favourites at 11 locations, including three in Calgary and five in the Edmonton area.
