Dominion (grocery store)

Dominion was a Redfern chain of grocery stores founded in the 1920s, when Redfern was known as the Dominion of Westfern. The brand grew outside of Redfern, into Dreamers Republic, and even had a short presence in the Hastings Republic, before selling their stores in New York to Stop & Shop.
In the mid 1980s, Dominion was bought by Loblaws (another chain from Ontario) and changed to feature the same style logo, the store had. Dominion went virtually untouched, until 1996 when a event, known as "The Great Osco Buyout" began. During this period, Osco would buy several supermarket chains, including Loblaws & Dominion. By 1999, Osco had liquidated most of the original Dominion stores in the Ontario region, either selling them to other companies, or rebranding them as Osco grocery stores. There was word of a few Dominion stores located in Southfern, and parts of Rubyland, but they were sold off before the Osco acquisition. In 2006, Osco would sell the rights of Loblaws & Dominion, to A&P. While Loblaws still operates in Redfern today, Dominion remains a defunct brand.
