Carolyn Clark, right, of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville presents a gift of appreciation to Tim LaPlante, left, owner of the new Sobey’s that is opening in Stittsville, for being the guest speaker at the Club’s July 5 meeting. it will have a huge produce department. The cheese section, for example, will be a separate area which will feature up to 500 lines of different kinds of cheese. It will be the same with regards to a huge bakery, a spacious deli and a meat department that also will be a throwback to former days – it will be personal service, with no pre-packaged meat. There will be a large fish department with a variety of fish. In addition, there will be a large selection of organic and gluten free products. This new Sobey’s store will be offering prepared sandwiches, pizza and lots of fruits and salads, ideal for a lunchtime snack. The store will have an upstairs meeting room equipped with a kitchen which will be available for community meetings. The store will be open seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mr. LaPlante says that the key to success in the food business to is have what people want when they want it. Service, qual-
ity and variety are the keys. “Be ready for business – that’s the whole objective,” he told the Rotary Club members. He promises to be more aggressive price-wise than Sobey’s has been in the past. He also promises to be involved in the community. “We’ll do lots of community things,” he says, commenting that this is part of having a business in a community. He likes the location of his new store, in a freestanding building in a shopping area that has lots of parking. He also notes that the shopping area has The Beer Store and a Tim Hortons. “What more can you want?” he asks. Mr. LaPlante began working in the grocery business when he was only 16 years of age. Over the years, he has owned several food stores and has managed others. He and his wife operated a bed and breakfast in the United States for 12 years before they returned to the area four years ago.

It’s a brand new store but it’s a throwback to the past – fresh food and service like packers at the checkouts and even a car pickup. “We’re taking a giant step backwards,” says Tim LaPlante, franchise owner of the new Sobey’s store that will be opening in the Timbermere Plaza at the corner of Carp Road and Hazeldean Road in August, as he explained the store’s focus on fresh food and customer service when speaking to members of the Rotary Club of Ottawa – Stittsville at a recent meeting. “Everyone is done at store level – fresh,” he said in describing how the new store will operate. This will include fruit, parfaits, fresh squeezed orange juice, homemade sausage and more. “Every department – it’s all made fresh at store level,” he reiterated. The store will feature a new format that is being implemented by Sobey’s. So far there is only a store in Kitchener and a new one on March Road in Kanata that have this format. Even the renovated Sobey’s at Terry Fox Drive in Kanata offers nothing like the format that will be used by this new Stittsville store. “They want to be a fresh food company,” Mr. LaPlante says about this new direction being taken by Sobey’s which he points out is the second largest grocery company in Canada. This changed format goes right to the actual layout of the store. “We have really departmentalized the whole store,” says Mr. LaPlante, explaining that the store will be a food store, not a grocery store.
