Onboard the Versatile Express

Versatile Express is fast and efficient service.
Versatile Express
Long before the age of big chain grocery and food delivery, was a small local delivery service based in Thunder Bay, now operating for 27 years. A service that brings anything you want, crave, and need at your doorstep for a price insignificant as compared to your cravings. That is the Versatile Express, started by Dale McDonald years ago.

They deliver anything the customer wants at any time of the day for incomparable prices. The only product off their service radar is alcohol, but let’s face it, who wouldn’t fancy a visit to the local liquor shop and browse the countless options, updated every day for our tastebuds!

With a client-base of more than 100 clients and 30-40 businesses, the delivery service functions regularly, pushing their boundaries to even the countryside for an extra fee. So next time you’re out in the country, camping, and craving something from the city, you know which number to ring up for a fast efficient service.

About the humble beginnings of the business, Dale McDonald says, “I thought it was a great idea when it started. Instead of one business, one service, I wanted us to do everything. My slogan was and is: Delivering what you crave. Picking up your Pharmacy prescriptions, smokes, hardware, home furniture and appliances. We will get you anything you want.”

Be it a cheat meal or a huge refrigerator to store the cheat meal(s), this delivery service is a one stop for all your needs. The only thing missing is an app which Dale McDonald is working on, for expansion.

“Right now, I’m in search of a younger operations supervisor/ partner to launch a fully operational delivery app that will potentially help us expand to other cities, and to reach a younger clientele as most of our clients right now are between 30 and 70. I don’t have plans to expand right now as I am a one-man army, but I’m willing to expand with the right person,” he adds about his expansion plans.

“If I’d travelled like the innovation center suggested with my business model 20 years ago across cities, selling my business idea, I’d be bigger,” he jokes reminiscing about his career. “I chose to stay in Thunder Bay to raise my four kids and keep it local,” he adds.
