It's a timely moment for an accolade as Prince Rupert's Maverick Mart settles in for the hectic holiday season, they have been recognized by the city's Credit Union as the business of the month.

Northern Savings outlined some of the key attractions of the city's east side market which is a popular spot for residents from across the city owing to their range of specialty items available at the store at the corner of Frederick Street and 11th Avenue East.

As Northern Savings notes in their salute to the store, Maverick Mart has been in business for close to thirty years and provides locally sourced goods and superior service.

This week is perhaps one of the busiest that the store will see, starting with the first of three of their legendary Seafood Sales which took place on Friday, with two more to come one on Christmas Eve and the final one set for New Years Eve.

With their selection by the Credit Union as a business of the month, Maverick Mart is receiving at least two social media posts showcasing their business, in addition to the listing of the stores information through other approaches the store will benefit from a Giveaway valued at $100 through the Northern Savings Facebook page.

As well, the staff at the store will receive one coffee break served up by the staff at Northern Savings, while the store owners will receive a business health check up from the financial institution.
