BagelSmith makes authentic Montreal-style bagels that are hand rolled, boiled in honey water, and baked to perfection. Although the company opened in the middle of the pandemic, BagelSmith kept on rolling bagels and rolling with the punches. Their bagels are now sold at over 25 vendors province-wide, including Sobeys Brandon, where you can find four of their bagel flavours: sesame, everything, poppy, and plain. Sobeys Brandon also carries BagelSmith jarred everything spice, which is great on just about everything! BagelSmith is thrilled to team up with Sobeys Brandon to offer the people of Brandon a taste of what they do.

Decongestants to relieve congestion and clear nasal passages. Sprays or lozenges to soothe a sore throat. Speak with your Pharmasave pharmacist about flu shots, prevention, appropriate symptom relief and other ways to stay healthy this flu season.
