History of Zehrs

Zehrs is a grocery store brand that is part of Loblaw Companies Limited, one of Canada’s largest retail chains. The brand traces its origins back to 1950 when the Zehr family established their first grocery store in Kitchener, Ontario. Initially operating as a small, family-run business, Zehrs quickly became known for its commitment to quality and service, which helped it grow steadily over the years.

In 1996, Zehrs was acquired by Loblaw Companies Limited, a move that allowed it to leverage Loblaw's extensive resources and distribution network. This acquisition facilitated Zehrs' expansion across Ontario, integrating with Loblaw's broader strategy of offering diverse and competitive grocery options. Today, Zehrs continues to operate under the Loblaw umbrella, maintaining its reputation for customer service and quality while benefiting from the larger company's scale and innovation.
