No Frills opens store in Ontario with horse and buggy tie-ups

No Frills has opened a new store in Ontario with accommodations for customers arriving by horse and buggy.

The Loblaw Companies discount supermarket chain set up shop in Elmira Thursday (July 9) with offerings tailored to the local Mennonite community. 

In addition to horse and buggy tie-ups, Jaden’s No Frills promises to deliver fresh and local goods, as well as club-sized and bulk-style products. 

Shoppers will find produce, in-store baked goods, hot chickens and local products such as Cottage Country Candies, Jakeman’s Maple Syrup and Dutch Traditions Candy.

The store also offers PC Express for in-store grocery pickup and features self-checkouts. 

Store owner Jaden Galachiuk began his career with No Frills in 2022 as a produce manager. 

“Fresh food is very personal to me, and I’m proud to open a store that reflects Elmira’s needs,” said Galachiuk in a press release. “From quality produce and local products to everyday value and a welcoming shopping experience, our team is focused on serving this community every day.”

The store, first announced in May, creates more than 75 jobs. 

To mark the occasion, the store will make a $1,500 donation to Woolwich Community Services, an Elmira-based organization that provides community support services, including a food bank program.

Jaden’s No Frills is located at 6 Arthur Street North.
