Store No. 5 is the First Specifically Built for No Frills

Loblaw Companies’ No Frills flag has been around since the 1970s, but it’s recently found a new sweet spot for the chain in Winnipeg with the opening of its fifth store in the city this Friday.

The new 32,000-square-foot store at 1500 Plessis Rd. — specifically built as a grocery store — could become the local grocery store for a growing residential community in that Transcona neighbourhood.

John Pierce, No Frills vice-president of store operations, said the chain has been a winning formula for the Loblaw company, with the Plessis Road store the 259th in the country.
