How many loblaws in quebec

A seventh recently-build store in Sherbrooke will also carry the name. The move marks a shift by the company away from the Loblaw name in Quebec, where efforts to build shopper loyalty and growth for the brand over 15 years appears to have stalled. Two analysts questioned privately said they expect the grocer to rename all the Loblaw-branded stores in the province over time. Speaking to reporters after a luncheon organized by the Montreal Board of Trade, Mr.

Dandoy said the Loblaw banner will stay in Quebec for the time being although the company will review the business model periodically and make changes as needed. The Loblaws name still resonates positively with some Quebecers as a large-format offering, he said.

Loblaw bought Provigo in as a way to expand into the Quebec market. Quebec lawmakers approved the deal but extracted a commitment from Loblaw to buy a majority of its goods and services from Quebec suppliers for seven years. Today, despite that local commitment and the fact it arguably saddled Loblaw with crippling costs that rivals did not have, the takeover is viewed by some Quebec lawmakers with a certain level of regret as the headquarters of the combined company moved to the Toronto area.
