Your Independent Grocer (YIG) is a Canadian supermarket chain with more than 100 locations across the country. Established in 1992, YIG operates in various provinces and territories, excluding Manitoba, Nunavut, and Quebec. The stores are typically franchise-owned, allowing local entrepreneurs to manage their operations while benefiting from the resources and support of a larger organization. YIG offers a comprehensive range of products and services, including bakery, dairy, deli, frozen foods, general grocery, meat and poultry, produce, seafood, and snacks. Many locations also feature additional services such as gardening centers, pharmacies, and photo labs.
YIG is a subsidiary of Loblaw Companies Limited, Canada's largest food retailer. This affiliation enables YIG stores to offer popular private-label brands like President's Choice and No Name, providing customers with quality products at competitive prices. The franchise model fosters a strong connection between the stores and their local communities, as franchisees often engage in community events and support local initiatives.
