Grand opening of new Save-On-Foods store set for Thursday

Save-On-Foods opens the doors to its new Prince George location at the Pine Centre Mall on Thursday.

The 38,924-square-foot store is part of Pine Centre’s newly transformed shopping centre.

“Save-On-Foods has been a major part of this great city since 1934, and it’s exciting to open this amazing new store with so much support from our team and customers,” said store manager Regan Bader.

The grand opening celebrations begin on Thursday with the first 500 customers of the day receiving a free Save-On-Foods gift card loaded with $10, except for two – which will be loaded with $500.

In February of 2021, Save-On-Foods stated they would be moving out of their Parkwood Place location and into the space vacated by Lowe’s.

Lowe’s closed up shop in February of 2020 impacting the employment of 110 workers.

The Pine Centre location is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week.
