For those looking to participate in the community boycott starting May 1st

  • We are boycotting Loblaw and Loblaw owned stores for the entire month of May 2024 (obviously you can boycott past this point in time)

  • We are asking for a reduction in prices by 15%

  • We are asking Loblaw remove “member only pricing” where customers are forced to sign up for a PC optimum card in order to receive sale prices

  • If shopping is taking place at Loblaw stores, we are focusing on purchasing loss leaders

    Because this chart is labelled “Loblaws brands” it is going to mislead some people to think that all the stores in the picture are to be boycotted, which might make them just give up because they might not have any options.

      Those stores all profit Loblaws, so the link in the description has a list of alternatives for every province. 🙂

        My first thought was “wait, Sobey’s is owned by Loblaws?!” I think there should have been a distinction between “we’re boycotting these guys” and “we’re not boycotting these guys.”

        Loblaws doesn’t profit directly from them, and are not owned by Loblaws.

        Is the Loblaws boycott actually a “Boycott all non-co-op/mom-and-pop stores”?

          Loblaws does not have a $33B valuation from loblaws supermarket alone. They include NoFrills, Shoppers Drug Mart, etc in their quarterly and year-end financial reports.
