Thunder Bay 50/50 Store secures permanent home at Intercity Shopping Centre
Thunder Bay’s 50/50 Store has a permanent home.
The Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation has signed a long-term agreement turning the store’s temporary location into a full-time home.
“The Thunder Bay 50/50 store has become such an important part of who we are,” said Director, Lotteries for the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation (TBRHSF), Torin Gunnell.
“It’s where we have the opportunity to meet the people who make our success possible. Keeping it at Intercity means our supporters can continue to walk up, chat with our team, and buy their tickets in person; it’s about being accessible to everyone.”
Funding from the draw supports the purchase of vital healthcare equipment and services across northwestern Ontario.
“Our relationship with Intercity Shopping Centre goes back decades,” said the CEO of the TBRHSF, Glenn Craig.
“What started as paper tickets sold from a card table has grown into a permanent storefront that’s become a true community hub. This partnership has evolved right alongside the Thunder Bay 50/50 itself, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have such strong local support as we continue to grow.”
The Thunder Bay 50/50 Store is located inside Intercity Shopping Centre, next to New York Fries in the Food Court, and is open during regular mall hours.
