The orange and the blue portions need to be larger.

Sobeys is way bigger than I thought they’d be.
Why’s that? Sobeys properties like Sobeys, Safeway and IGA are the only ones I’ve ever heard of in Alberta. I don’t recognize any of the loblaws chains except superstore.
Longo’s, Freshco, Farm Boy which are the same parent company as Sobeys aren’t uncommon in Toronto, maybe less than No Frills/Loblaws and Food Basics/Metro.
There are a whole lot of Safeways in Western Canada.
Well at least y’all managed to keep Walmart under control. Better than the “profits at all costs” USA I know and tolerate living in.
True, I checked the us market and Walmart has 25% market share and is the largest grocer.
You gotta boycott Walmart and Sam’s Club. Name the movement “Patriots Against Walmart” haha 💕
We gotta force each grocer chain other than orange down to 9.9% market share.
What does “Other” encapsulate, anyway? The only independent grocers I ever see are ethnic grocers and in my area they tend to be expensive.
Pattison Group (Saveonfoods) is another big chain in BC and Western Canada.
Their original name was so much better: Overwaitea Foods
Is that the same Pattison as the car dealerships that seem to be all over? Also, isn’t there a Pattison Media or am I misremembering a radio ad?

You’re correct! They’re in the Auto Business, the Television and Radio business, the advertising billboard business, owner of Ripleys (if you can Believe it or Not), publisher of Guinness Book of World Records, and a handful of other industries.
Round here they are Asian grocery stores and they are the only place I shop because they have reasonable meat prices and outstanding produce, compared to Loblaws metro and Sobeys
Hm, maybe I have to shop in other towns. The ones near me are Nigerian and non-descript Middle Eastern. Lots of interesting meats (can buy camel, surprisingly) but it’s not cheap.
