The orange and the blue portions need to be larger.

    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.

          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.
