Local Value Pricing: The CSquared Advantage
At CSquared Hardware, “Value” isn’t just the sticker price—it’s the total cost of getting your project done. When you factor in the “Travel Tax” of a trip to Regina, shopping local at CSquared isn’t just more convenient; it’s the smartest financial choice you can make.
Stop Paying the “Travel Tax”
Before you even buy your first fitting in the city, you’ve already spent:
-
Fuel: ~$15 in gas for the round trip. (depending on what and how you drive!)
-
Your Saturday: 2.5 hours of driving and navigating massive warehouse aisles. (2.5 x $15.35/hr ~$40)
-
Total Travel Tax = $55
-
The “Oops” Factor: If you realize mid-project that you need one more 45° elbow, a return trip to the city costs you another $15 and 2 more hours.
