PROFILE |
 |
George Weston Limited fuels Canadians through those long winters. More than 80% of the company's sales come from its 63%-owned Loblaw Companies Limited, Canada's largest supermarket operator (with more than a dozen chains such as Loblaws, Provigo, and Zehrs) and the country's largest wholesale food distributor. The rest comes from its food processing units, with operations in Canada and the US that primarily focus on fresh-baked goods, frozen dough, and other bakery products (its Interbake Foods division is a major supplier of Girl Scout cookies in the US). The units also have fish and dairy operations. Chairman Galen Weston owns more than 60% of the company, which was founded by his grandfather in 1882.
