In an ambitious plan that took just a week to complete, 11 of Overwaitea Food Group‘s 16 PriceSmart Foods stores in British Columbia have been converted to the Save-on-Foods banner. The announcement was officially made on February 6th and the conversion is scheduled to be completed by today (Friday, February 14th, 2014).
