Loblaw says it has challenged hundreds of millions in proposed supplier cost increases in 2026 as it expands No Frills and Maxi. The dispute highlights the economics of discount grocery, manufacturer cost pressures and Canada's new Grocery Code of Conduct.
The combination of everyday value offerings, personalized PC Optimum loyalty rewards, impactful promotions, and new store openings drove higher levels of customer engagement.
Delivering against its capital investment plans to open approximately 80 new stores and 100 new clinics in 2025, Loblaw brought Hard Discount banners to five new communities and opened four new pharmacies with expanded clinics in the quarter, and opened a second T&T Supermarket in downtown Toronto.
Loblaw is planning 80 new stores under the No Frills, Maxi, Shoppers Drug Mart, Pharmaprix and T&T banners, including approximately 50 hard discount stores.
