Loblaw Companies Ltd. is slowly winding down its ultra-discount No Name grocery store program, with two of the three pilot locations in Ontario now closed or slated to shut down just over a year after they first opened. The stores were originally launched in September 2024 and gave shoppers access to even lower prices than the company's existing discount chains, like No Frills.
