Fortinos Flyer This Week

Fortinos Flyer This Week: publication rhythm and schedule

Fortinos publishes one of the larger Flyers on AdsSOS. The edition valid from 22 October to 28 October 2026 has 27 pages, and the one before it, a Halloween-themed Flyer valid from 15 October to 21 October 2026, has 29 pages. Both run Thursday to Wednesday, so editions listed on AdsSOS usually start on a Thursday. The Fortinos website blocked our automated request, so we could not read an official statement about the release day or hour. Rely on the dates printed in the Flyer itself.

The length means the Fortinos Flyer this week covers more than groceries. Check the later pages for household, seasonal and general merchandise sections before assuming a product is not included.

How to save: loyalty card and app

Fortinos takes part in PC Optimum. PC Financial lists Fortinos among the participating stores in its PC Optimum page, and other guides list it among the banners where points can be redeemed by telling the cashier. According to Wikipedia, PC Optimum began on 1 February 2018 when the PC Plus and Shoppers Optimum programs merged. Points are earned from weekly offers that members load through the website or app, from in-store promotions tied to specific products, and at partner businesses. A large basket of non-participating items may therefore earn nothing.

Wikipedia states that 1,000 points equal one dollar, redeemable in multiples of 10,000, and that points cannot be used for gift cards, alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets or prescription medication. PC Financial credit card holders can earn extra points, and the rate depends on the card. Confirm current terms in the app, because program rules change.

Price matching, returns and coupon rules

We could not find a published price-match or return policy for Fortinos. A secondary source describing price matching at two other Loblaw banners does not mention Fortinos, so we cannot extend those rules here. Ask at customer service before relying on a competitor's Flyer.

For coupons, the only documented route is the PC Optimum offer system described above, where offers are loaded to your account and applied when you scan your card or tell the cashier your number. Wikipedia also notes that Fortinos has historically not carried Loblaw's No Name brand products, although the article does not explain the situation further.

Smart shopping: hours and markdown habits

We could not verify store hours or Sunday opening for Fortinos because the official site was not reachable. Check the store page for your location. Fortinos stores are in the Hamilton area and the western Greater Toronto Area, where the Retail Business Holidays Act applies outside the City of Toronto. It lists holidays such as New Year's Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Canada Day, Labour Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and Easter Sunday, and a municipality can opt out by by-law, so local hours can vary on those days. We found no official statement about markdown or clearance practices.

For comparison shopping, the Walmart Flyer this week is a common benchmark for everyday items, and the T&T Supermarket Flyer this week is a useful reference for Asian groceries.

About Fortinos in Canada

According to Wikipedia, Giovanni (John) Fortino, an immigrant from Calabria, Italy, opened the first Fortinos store in lower Hamilton in 1961. A second store opened on Hamilton Mountain in 1972, after Fortino took on seven partners, and the chain grew into Burlington, Brampton, Toronto and Vaughan. Fortinos became part of Loblaw Companies Limited in 1988, and the article counts 24 stores as of 2024 in the western Greater Toronto and Hamilton area, with Hamilton as the headquarters.

It is a regional banner rather than a national one. Compare it with other grocers in the Canada supermarkets Flyer hub, or browse all retailers from the Canada Flyer this week hub.
