Promoting Ontario Produce Wins Mildmay Grocer Provincial Award

A Bruce County grocer has won a major award for promoting Ontario food products.

Stewart's Town and Country Market in Mildmay has earned one of the 12 provincial Platinum All Seasons Award for 2015.

That's for merchandising excellence through spring, summer and fall/winter.

Because this is the second year in a row for Stewart's to win the platinum award, the store has also been given the Foodland Ontario Award of Excellence.

The Food Basics Store in Listowel has received one of this year's Silver Awards of Merit celebrating excellence in promoting Ontario produce in a display.

The 36 winners in that category include Food Basics stores in London, Chatham and Kitchener and the Bridgeport Sobey's in Waterloo.

The Foodland Ontario Retailer Awards were created in 1987 to recognize efforts to raise consumer awareness about the diversity of fruits and vegetables grown in the province.
