Buck & Cook

Necessity is the mother of all invention, and mittens on a string are exactly that. A practical mom or grandmother (no doubt) came up with the knitted version decades ago, met with cheers and applause from parents around the world. Fast forward to the 21st century and The Smittie TM was born. Originally conceived and designed when Buck & Cook co-founder, Jessica Buckley's first son was 18 months old. It was January and little boy Buckley was trying to have fun in the snow. Problem # 1. The mittens were falling off, constantly! Bare little hands were diving into the frozen snow and emerging red and wet. Tears ensued. Hands were now wet and couldn't easily slide back into the mitt. Problem #2. Mittens get lost! Mittens get separated! Mittens drop from strollers, out vehicle doors and get lost inside the bottom of baskets, bags and backpacks! Out of necessity, Jessica designed the first Smittie using a light weight under jacket with the mittens sewn to the jacket, with exit holes for little hands, a secret back pocket to house a warming "HotShot", and a cozy hood for extra protection on days when the wind is blowing hard. Friends and colleagues starting to ask about Smittie, one being Aimee Cook, a former colleague. When Aimee first saw The Smittie her reaction was, "Where was this when my kids were younger? Every parent should have one of these!" The two momprenuers starting collaborating in 2011 and shortly after formed Buck & Cook to perfect The Smittie and to bring fine children's products to the world. ×

John’s No Frills

The original nofrills® store was just that, no frills. No product advertising, no store displays, no meat counter, no clerks to bag your groceries, and you had to bring your own bags or pay 3 cents for each. "It doesn't bother me a bit," replied first day customer Frank Atlas when asked about bagging his own groceries. "I've saved a couple dollars with this order." nofrills® introduced some highly innovative retailing concepts to Canadian consumers. While most grocery stores carried thousands of items, that first nofrills® featured only 500. And many of the products were themselves no frills, namely no name®, the line of generic products launched by Loblaws just months earlier. With their distinctive yellow packaging, bold lettering, and low prices, no name® was proving a big hit with consumers. "They're a lot cheaper than name brands, most of them are just as good and some of them are even better," commented one Toronto shopper. nofrills® was able to pass on even more savings by leaving products on display in their cardboard shipping cartons, with the sides cut away. Produce, normally washed by hand and carefully arranged, was left in its original box. At a time when consumers were feeling the pinch of high inflation, many were only too happy to give up the frills to save money at the checkout counter. Loblaws quickly converted two dozen of its stores to nofrills® outlets. Business boomed, but became increasingly competitive through the 1980s. Then, in 1987, Loblaws decided to harness the entrepreneurial spirit of local ownership, changing the stores into franchise operations. Today, those owners proudly put their names out front, from Ron's nofrills® in Niagara Falls, Ontario to Bryan & Alison's nofrills® in Peace River, Alberta, to Roger's nofrills® in Shediac, New Brunswick. A lot has changed over three decades. That first prototype store has grown into more than 150 franchise locations across Canada. While the first stores had only a few hundred items, today's nofrills® has thousands to choose from, including fresh produce, meat and the very popular President's Choice®, as well as no name® line of products. But with all that has changed over the years, the nofrills® concept remains the same, focusing on great meat and produce, commitment to community and trusted low prices.×
