Andrew and Emily’s No Frills in Picton has been recognized by Bay of Quinte MPP Todd Smith on behalf of Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, for their outstanding commitment to Ontario’s local food industry and presented them with a Foodland Ontario Retailers Award gold award for cross merchandising.
Produce manager David Wright and store owners Andrew and Emily Januszkiewicz accepted the award, which is the store’s seventh from Foodland Ontario in eight years. Wright explained the winning display had a barbecue theme, featuring Greenridge Farms asparagus and complementary products.
The annual Foodland Ontario Retailer Awards are the produce industry’s premier competition for excellence in retail display and promotion in support of local Ontario foods. Retailers enter seasonal display contests, which run from mid-April to November. In 2018, over 4,250 entries were submitted, with almost 6,000 photos of compelling displays featuring fresh Ontario produce.
