Daily Franchises

NoFrills

NoFrills is a chain of franchised "discount" grocery stores. In 1987, Loblaws decided to harness the entrepreneurial spirit of local ownership, and created the No Frills franchise. Today, these owners proudly put their names out front, from Paul's No Frills in Timmins, to Baldree's in Gananoque, to Rennie & Liz's No Frills in west-end Toronto.

With all that has changed over the years, the No Frills concept remains the same, namely providing great service, an incredible array of products and exceptional quality at a terrific price. No Frills provides customers with a unique and convenient one-stop shopping experience. Along with great fresh food items, shoppers will be amazed with the money they will save on the outstanding selection of no name and President's Choice products.
