Just Think….. Just Ink


Following the initial opening of his printer cartridge refill store in Abbotsford (Just Ink Services) in the fall of 2001, Oliver Pattison has been a very busy and successful small business owner. By 2003 he expanded by moving location across the road on Montrose Avenue to a newly remodeled storefront next to the old Post Office building and hired staff - first one part-timer who soon was needed fulltime as business continued to increase and flourish. 

In order to promote his growing downtown small businesses Oliver began networking everywhere he could. In 2003 he was rewarded for his hard work and continued success by being honoured as The Young Entrepreneur of the Year by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce at their annual banquet.

In July 2005, ever wanting to expand his business opportunities and offer his ink and toner refilling service to a wider customer base, Oliver opened a second store in Chilliwack on Luckakuck Way.  Both stores continue to do very well, and Oliver now employs three fulltime staff members plus three part time. He still offers the same friendly and efficient service to all his customers, also making sure he keeps current with all the new products the printer industry continually introduces. The focus continues to be printer cartridge refills for low prices with a responsible environmental awareness by recycling and reusing what use to be considered a throwaway product.

Oliver's latest business upgrading venture joined with the original Kelowna Just Ink store, and June 2013 launched their new website featuring online shopping.
