REGINA – A new grocery chain is opening its doors in Saskatchewan.
Canada’s largest western-based grocery retailer Save-On-Foods plans on opening stores in Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Yorkton.
The first grocery store in the province will be in Regina at the old Canadian Tire location on South Albert.
In total, Save-On-Foods plans to open 40 stores across Saskatchewan and Manitoba in the next five years – creating nearly 4,000 jobs.

“We’re very excited to be here today to meet our new neighbours in Saskatchewan,” says Save-On-Foods president Darrell Jones.
“For us, as we start construction, it is as much about building relationships with the community as it is about the building of the store itself. We have a commitment to customizing our locations to best suit the needs of each neighbourhood we’re in. What better way to find out what that means to residents than to come and invite them to tell us first hand.”
The stores will be a combination of existing buildings and new construction and will range from 40,000 to 65,000 square feet on average.
The first store in Regina should open in the spring of 2016.
