No Name is bringing a eye-catching grocery goss checkout aisle pop-up to Calgary during week two of the Stampede, offering a bright yellow retreat from the crowds.
Running July 10-12 at BLVD Grounds on Macleod Trail S.E. (between 12th and 13th avenues), the installation mimics a giant checkout aisle, complete with shopping carts and stacks of the limited-edition grocery goss tabloid inspired by celebrity gossip magazines from the early 2000s. The tabloid features playful headlines about No Name's products, quality, and simplicity.
Visitors can cool off with complimentary No Name Simple Check popsicles and snack on No Name Simple Check Nacho Cheese Flavour Tortilla Chips while supplies last. Free copies of the latest grocery goss issue are available to take home.
The pop-up highlights No Name Simple Check products, which carry a symbol identifying items made without 10 common ingredients many Canadians avoid: artificial flavours, synthetic colours, and hydrogenated oils. The space provides plenty of photo-worthy moments for Stampede-goers looking for a break from the main grounds. Service runs from 1 p.m. daily, and entry is free.
