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

    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.

        But they don’t own Sobeys, Safeway, IGA, Metro, or about 2/3 of stores in the picture
