First No Frills® in Western Canada to feature new look and feel bringing 115 jobs, quality and value to the growing community.

October 8, 2026, Brampton, ON — No Frills^®, one of Canada’s leading hard-discount grocery retailers, is opening a new location in Warman, Saskatchewan, marking the 350th No Frills^® store in Canada and the first in Western Canada to feature No Frills^®’ new look and feel.

Located at 700 Centennial Boulevard, Aureo’s No Frills^® will offer customers a full grocery shop, with quality produce, everyday essentials and a wide assortment of products at affordable prices. The store will also feature hot chickens in BBQ and Portuguese flavours, along with halal options, in-store baked cookies, donuts and croissants, multicultural products, organic and natural food options, PC Express pick-up and delivery and Flashfood.

The Warman store is part of No Frills^®’ continued evolution of the discount grocery experience, one that keeps affordability at the centre while creating a shopping environment customers can feel proud of. Featuring an innovative hybrid timber and steel design, the store brings a fresh, modern look to No Frills^®’ simple and functional aesthetic, while maintaining the efficient, value-driven model that helps keep prices low.

For Store Owner Aureo Perez, the opening marks another exciting chapter in a career with Loblaw that began in 2013 as a part-time meat clerk in Melfort. Since then, he has held a variety of roles across the business, building his experience in grocery retail before becoming a No Frills^® Store Owner in Saskatoon, where he has served the community for the past five years.

“We’re incredibly excited to open this store in Warman and become part of the community,” said Aureo Perez. “I’ve had the opportunity to serve many Warman customers at my Saskatoon store, so bringing No Frills^® closer to them is especially meaningful. Our team is ready to provide the value, quality and fresh products our customers expect, while building strong relationships with local schools, organizations and families.”

The new store has hired 115 employees, including many local students, and is designed to provide Warman and surrounding communities with a convenient, welcoming and value-driven grocery experience. To celebrate the grand opening, Aureo’s No Frills^® will donate $1,500 to the Warman Food Bank, supporting individuals and families in the community.

Aureo’s No Frills^®, located at 700 Centennial Boulevard in Warman, will be open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
