There have been numerous changes within the rankings since 2021, as some discount brands jumped several spots while some chains fell behind.
The national survey of 2,932 Canadians, conducted by Maru Public Opinion as part of the Canada’s Most Respected Awards Program, found that Costco was the most respected food retailer in Canada for the second consecutive time.
What’s telling is that some of Loblaws brands actually went up in the survey. When you own so much of the grocery business and have a captive customer base you can do pretty much whatever. Do we have any antitrust legislation in this country?
We have some of the most concentrated markets in the world in certain sectors, notably the telecom cartel. Due to car culture and the advent of the supermarket, we don’t have small neighborhood grocers anymore. We do here in Vancouver, small immigrant run shops, and let me tell you, the quality is high and the prices are WAY lower than the national chains.
