So many different supermarket chains in Canada, eh? Loblaw Companies Limited runs most of 'em. The top food retailer in Canada, it owns or franchises more than 1,000 stores and has more than 700 associated stores. Its banners include (OK, take a deep breath) Loblaws, Atlantic SaveEasy, no frills, Lucky-Dollar Foods, Maxi, The Real Canadian Superstore, and Zehrs, to name a few. The company's purchase of Provigo boosted its presence in Quebec. Loblaw offers more than 5,000 private-label products, including President's Choice (featuring financial services, as well as traditional grocery fare) and no name. Loblaw also has wholesale operations. Canadian baker George Weston Limited owns about 63% of the firm.
