July 30, 2026, Brampton, ON — No Frills^®, one of Canada’s leading hard-discount grocery retailers, is opening Dutton No Frills^®, the community’s first No Frills^® location, giving families in Dutton and the surrounding rural area a convenient new place to shop for fresh food, weekly essentials and everyday value closer to home.

Located at 210 Currie Road, the new 8,000-square-foot store offers the value, and assortment customers expect from No Frills^®, while providing the products local families rely on for their weekly grocery trips.

“Smaller communities are an important part of how we think about growing the No Frills^® network and serving more Canadians,” said Jennifer Teixeira, Senior Vice President, No Frills Operations. “Opening in Dutton shows how stores designed around local needs can improve access to quality, affordable groceries and everyday value. We’re proud to invest in the community, create local jobs and become part of the routines of families throughout the area.”

Dutton No Frills^® offers a selected grocery assortment tailored to the community, including weekly grocery essentials, hot prepared foods such as cooked chickens, freshly baked goods and a selection of alcoholic beverages. With a smaller footprint, the store is thoughtfully stocked to provide customers with a practical and convenient option for their weekly grocery shop.

The opening of Dutton No Frills^® will create 50 jobs and expand access to affordable grocery shopping for families in Dutton and surrounding rural communities. Ice cream sandwiches will be available at the front of the store on opening day, while quantities last. To mark the occasion, Dutton No Frills^® will donate $1,500 to the West Elgin Daffodil Auxiliary.

Dutton No Frills^®, located at 210 Currie Road, will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
