Grocery Stores
They're a nice store, but I wonder how long that will continue. Empire Company (who run Sobey's, FarmBoy etc) owns 51% of the company now so it might end up feeling like any other grocery store in the province. Although they were investigated by one of our federal law enforcement agencies and the sale was deemed to be non-monopolistic, it is still one less independent grocer out there...

The No Frills in Waterloo (on Weber near King, in the Wholesale Club building) is opening November 16.

It’s probably only corporate stores. All the local ones are franchises so they would have their own collective agreement with their owners.
