FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VANCOUVER, B.C., October 2, 2026 — ARQS today announced that Ackerman.ca has been added to the ARQS.ca portfolio as its online department store. Ackerman's first department-store page went live on arqs.ca on September 25, and the store gives shoppers one place to browse products across the portfolio by department.

One store, many departments

The Ackerman department store is organised into departments including technology and electronics, clothing and fashion, home and living, health and wellness, kids and family, courses and learning, books and publishing, business and professional, software and digital, and travel and outdoor, along with the Ackerman Decadence fine-jewellery department. Products keep their original vendor identity while customers discover them through Ackerman departments.

Connected to the rest of the portfolio

The kids and family department connects to Jason's Place; courses and learning carry AI Academy courses; books and publishing carry ARQS Press titles; and software and digital carry ARQS software, AI services, tools and guides. Business shoppers can find business plans, the AI Readiness Audit and website packages, and wellness shoppers can also visit Downtown Tan.

A name with history

Ackerman.ca carries a family business name that dates to 1910. The Ackerman heritage page traces the line from the jewellery trade to today's online store.

Availability

Ackerman is available now at ackerman.ca and arqs.ca/ackerman, with the full catalogue in the Ackerman store. ARQS products are also available in the ARQS Store, and announcements appear in the ARQS Newsroom and on the West Coast Tech desk.
