The Grocery Link is a family-owned Canadian company  launched in Calgary, Alberta in January 2016.

The Grocery Link was developed based on these core values:

• To provide exceptional service to individuals and companies alike
• To offer an affordable alternative to taxi, Uber, and/or car rentals to access groceries
• To enable individuals who do not have a credit card, or computer,  to be able to access groceries online
• To offer companies a way to provide healthy snacks to employess without having to actually go shopping
• To help save families time shopping, enabling them to spend more quality time with their loved ones
• To help people save money by reducing in store impulse spending
• To help seniors and/or persons with disabilities,  prolong their right to independent living
• To assist caregivers by picking-up and delivering much needed groceries, so they can focus on quality companionship instead of grocery shopping

"Myron is dedicated to increasing technological literacy among aging Calgarians. This will be achieved by providing education and support for aging Calgarians to learn how to access desired technology and order groceries online. Instacart, Coop, Save on Foods, T&T Market, Flanders Fine Foods and Spud.ca  are examples of  platforms we will be showcasing. Myron provides two avenues, digital and print.

COVID-19 has increased isolation of elders in our communities. Whether you're hindered by the fear of using on-line services or need the step by step guidance, Myron is here to educate elders in the community. Providing elders with the skill set to access technology, set-up an account, confidently place and pay for an on-line order and have it delivered safely to their doorstep all while allowing elders to age in place with independence and the ability to learn new skills in a digital world."
