New No-Frills owner Mike Visconti was “exhausted” in a pleasant kind of way at the end of his shift last Sunday.

Flanked by members of his staff, Visconti noted that his grocery store's grand re-opening went “pretty smooth” and he was “really pleased with the Sunday morning ribbon-cutting ceremony” that took place at the Nobleton store.

He added that “it was great to see the Mayor, the Town Councillors, and so many guests at the ceremony” to give his family's Nobleton No-Frills a fresh start.

Mike and Brigette Visconti's No-Frills store was festooned with black and yellow balloons to mark the occasion of the ribbon-cutting and a steady stream of customers kept staff occupied throughout Sunday.

Visconti estimated that upwards of “1,500 residents came through the doors” of his grocery store to witness the ceremony and do their shopping so “it was a busy day for staff.”

It's evident that Visconti's No-Frills is, indeed, under new management as noted on their colourful street sign on Highway 27 and Sunday's upbeat ceremonies constitute a fresh re-boot for shoppers and employees at the Nobleton grocery store. 

It's also evident that Mike Visconti “Won't be beat” as his big outdoor No-Frills sign says, but he could certainly be permitted to be just a little bit tired after a long and successful grand re-opening.
