"We've received a huge amount of support from the public and the neighborhood," store manager Mike Wolchock said.

"We have memberships from people in every province and across the U.S.," Wolchock said. "I had a member from Michigan call me to wish me a Merry Christmas."

"The letter summed up the spirit of what [Pollock]'s is about," Wolchock said. "Our motto is 'people before profits.' When Pollock's closed, it left a void in those who purchased goods from there, so we stepped in to fill it."
