We pride ourselves on the ability to assist each and every client in achieving their goals and realizing their vision. Retail Built Well. Our Story In the fall of 2004, Mauro and Artur recognised an opportunity, the construction industry was in need of an experienced and true interior general contractor that could provide construction services tailored to meet the increasing demand in the retail and commercial sector. Dino and John would join them and complete the team. Soon after, Icon Constructors Inc. was founded. In late November of 2004, after pursuing an opportunity with Home Depot Canada, Icon was awarded with construction projects for 16 new Home Depot locations throughout Ontario and the Maritimes, all slated for execution starting January of 2005. The race was on to make 97 Buttermill Avenue in Vaughan a functioning home for Icon Constructors Inc. During the course of 2005, Icon was successful in establishing a business relationship with grocery retailer Loblaw Properties Limited, and securing multiple projects within Ontario. These initial connections have continued to develop into ongoing, long term relationships and the rest is history. With the continued growth of their client base and the increasing recognition of being industry leaders, the need for a larger facility became increasingly evident. As of June 2015, Icon Constructors has made 6801 Columbus Road in Mississauga their new home. At Icon, new opportunities and challenges are always welcome. Retail Built Well.

  • Loblaw Launches Online Marketplace
    - Advertisement - Loblaw launches online marketplace November 26, 2019 Loblaw Cos. Ltd. began extending the assortment and convenience of PC Express with an online marketplace, adding brands and products that Loblaw has not historically stocked. This will include additional items for baby, toy, home, kitchen and pet categories across several of its stores, including Real Canadian Superstore, Atlantic Superstore and Loblaws. "Millions of Canadians visit our stores and online shops weekly, looking for inspiration and convenient access to food, home and health products. Through this expanded PC Express offering, we will provide them with a curated, edited assortment of products that complement their current shop, from some exciting new vendors," said Garry Senecal, chief customer officer for Loblaw Cos. Ltd. "This is 1 / 2 another example of how we can offer even more to customers, simplifying their searching and shopping experience for many of their everyday needs." The national online assortment will reach beyond the current in-store selection with brands like Umbra and Lennox Furniture Inc. and will be the largest range of products available to Loblaw customers to date. In addition to earning PC Optimum points, products will be delivered direct to home, or available for in-store pickup. At launch, new third-party companies will be introduced in five expanded categories and new products will continue to roll out. "A curated marketplace is based on the idea that, as they shop with us, Canadians will welcome the chance to buy complementary products from complementary brands. For example, as new parents prepare for a baby with diapers and formula, they would probably find it very convenient to be able to order blankets, wash cloths or even a crib through us," said Hesham Fahmy, vice president of Loblaw Digital.
