Big News from Our Sister Crew: Zibi Smoke Co. Expands to Ottawa South!
If you’ve been rocking with us here at Red Roots Trading Company, you already know the vibes. Family-owned. Indigenous proud. Community-first. What you might also know (but we’re never shy about saying out loud) is that the same Algonquin family behind Red Roots also happens to be the powerhouse behind our sister company, Zibi Smoke Co. An Ottawa-based First Nations 24/7 convenience store, dedicated exclusively to native cigarettes, tobacco, and nicotine vape and pouch products. We'll say sorry ahead of time... Although here at Red Roots, we carry the full lineup of Zibi Smoke Co. products for delivery, Zibi doesn't carry any cannabis products in their stores.
What's special about today? Ohhh, today we celebrate… 🎉
Zibi Smoke Co. has officially opened their SECOND Ottawa location, this time serving our Southern Ottawa family in a big way.
Zibi Smoke Co. is now in Southern Ottawa!
The original Zibi Smoke Co. location at
📍 275 Montreal Road (Ottawa North)
has been holding it down like freakin' champions.
Now open for business in the south end:
📍 2019 Bank Street, Unit #104 (Ottawa South)
Same family. Same energy. Bigger footprint. Even more convenience. And yes, we’re absolutely pumped.
Ottawa’s #1 Spot for the Essentials (And the Extras)
Zibi Smoke Co. has built its reputation on daily deals and serious selection. We’re talking:
- Top-quality First Nations / Indigenous / Native cigarettes
- Loose ceremonial tobacco
- 5% / 50mg/mL nicotine vapes & vape pods
- A wide range of nicotine pouches
- Ottawa’s largest selection of Backwoods cigars
- And now proudly boasting Ottawa’s largest selection of grabba shakers
Including their very own Zibi Smoke Co. flavoured grabba shakers in:
Grape, Banana, Blueberry, and Russian Cream. The heavy hitters.
If you’ve been following our blog, you already know we copped these in two seconds for the Red Roots menu when we heard they were available, the flavoured grabbas are no joke.
More Than a Tobacco & Nicotine Shop, It’s a One-Stop Spot
And here’s where it gets even better.
At the new Ottawa South / Bank Street location, they’ve gone full convenience mode.
Snacks? Obviously.
- Frito Lay favourites like Lay’s, Ruffles, Cheetos, Doritos and more.
- Candy classics like Hershey, Aero, Reese’s, Coffee Crisp, Twix, Snickers, Oh Henry!, M&M’s, Airheads… the list keeps going.
Exclusive to Ottawa South: Chilled Drinks
- Sodas (cans & 2 litres)

- Monster
- Kool Aid
- Gatorade
- Minute Maid juices
- And more cold goodness
Household Essentials (Because Adulting Happens)
- Dish soap
- Laundry soap
- Toilet paper

Translation? You can skip the big box store. Swing by Zibi. Grab what you need. 24/7. Friendly faces. Zero hassle.
Family. Community. Growth.
In a blog post on their own website, Zibi Smoke Co. made something very clear:
Their new expansion would not have been possible without their loyal local customer base.
That’s not corporate talk. That’s real gratitude.
They’ve built their name through community support, consistent service, and always delivering value. And now they’re proud to share this next chapter with more of Ottawa.
And the team at Red Roots? We couldn’t be prouder of our friends and family over at Zibi Smoke Co.
Red Roots sources its tobacco and nicotine products directly from Zibi Smoke Co., and we proudly offer delivery services for Zibi customers who don’t want to make the drive to one of their trading posts. Watching our sister company grow like this is special. It’s family success. It’s Indigenous entrepreneurship. It’s community building in real time.
The Next Chapter Starts Now
From Montreal Road to Bank Street, Zibi Smoke Co. is expanding, evolving, and still keeping it 100% rooted in family and culture. If you’re in Southern Ottawa, there’s officially no excuse not to stop in.
To our friends at Zibi Smoke Co.: Congratulations on the new location. We’re cheering you on, always.
And our word to Ottawa? Go show Zibi Smoke Co. some love today! 💛
