News & Events

Make sure to check this section on a regular basis for all our latest in-store events hosted at Rainbow Foods as well as out-of-store events that we participate in.

As the current circumstances evolve, we continue to adapt our processes and practices to meet the needs of you, our community, and our team. Therefore, it is with much thought and consideration that we have decided to temporarily adjust our retail operating hours. This change comes at a challenging time however it becomes more imperative then ever for maintaining the overall well-being of our team. It is with our team’s dedication and hard work that we continue to fill our shelves and maintain our commitment to striving to provide a superior customer experience.

Our new hours will be effective as of March 25, 2020 and will remain in effect until further notice:

Open Monday – Sunday: 9am-6pm

With our reduced hours, we will continue to uphold our daily Vulnerable Population Shopping Hour. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada, while diseases can impact anyone, some individuals have a heightened risk of getting an infection and developing severe complications due to their health, social, and economic circumstances. Therefore, out of concern for the vulnerable populations within our community, we are dedicating the first hour of our operations to serving those who may require additional physical assistance, senior-aged individuals, and those with compromised immune systems.

As of March 25, 2020, our updated Vulnerable Population Shopping Hour can be observed:
Monday – Sunday: 9am-10am

For more information on vulnerable populations please visit https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/publications/diseases-conditions/vulnerable-populations-covid-19.html

The goal of our Curbside Pickup & Delivery Service is simple — to bring you easier, safer, and more convenient access to the products you rely on. In our effort to ensure that our team is able to process orders in the most efficient way we can, we’re introducing our Order Request Form to be used to place all orders for both curbside pickup and delivery.

Debit/Credit Transactions

With a focus on how we can help maximize the safety of you and our team, we are accepting only debit, credit, and Rainbow Foods gift cards at this time. Thank you for your understanding and we apologize for any inconveniences this may cause!

One of our Ten Guiding Principles is ‘Focus on Local’ where we strive to ensure that our products come from as close-to-home as possible. With SuzyQ Doughnuts located in our neighbouring community, the decision to bring the taste of SuzyQ doughnuts to Rainbow Foods once a week was easy!
⠀
SuzyQ Doughnuts is a local business that is truly built around bringing individuals together and cultivating a community based around a mutual love for doughnuts. During this extremely challenging time, our SuzyQ Saturdays are taking a pause for now, but doughnut worry, we look forward to announcing when they resume.

During this turbulent time we remain committed to serving you and our community each and every day. We are working hard to stock our shelves and keep up with demand. Keep calm and healthy and stay tuned for further updates as more information becomes available!
