“As a native of Bermuda and part of the organizing committee for
this year's Bermuda Pride, I naturally recommended Lightspeed
Retail to power our event's merchandising. Its unified platform,
expert support, and simplicity have been key in streamlining my own
business, Surplus Trends,” says James Brookes, Owner at
Surplus Trends, a Montreal-based retailer offering a
curated selection of luxury and footwear brands. “With Lightspeed,
we can concentrate on what's really important during Bermuda Pride:
the celebration of our community and the promotion of
inclusivity.”
The spotlight this year is on Surplus Trends, an edgy retail
store nestled in the trendy Mile End neighborhood of Montreal.
Behind Surplus Trends is James Brookes, an established artist,
passionate LGBTQ2S+ advocate, and a member of the organizing
committee for Bermuda Pride 2023. Brookes, who was formerly an
employee at Lightspeed, and his business partner Maxime Noiseux,
have become key figures in Montreal's LGBTQ2S+ community, imbuing
Surplus Trends with their unique vision and values.
His journey in advocacy has been significantly influenced by the
inclusive ethos fostered by Dax Dasilva, Founder and Executive
Chair of Lightspeed. This transformative experience continues to
guide Brookes in his advocacy for the LGBTQ2S+ community and his
role as an entrepreneur. Stay connected as Lightspeed organizes a
series of activities throughout Pride, further emphasizing their
commitment to their core values of inclusivity and community.
