Corporate Statements

Responding to Canada-US Trade Negotiations | August 22, 2026

In moments like these, our strength comes from community, partnership and a shared commitment to supporting one another.

As a proud Canadian company serving our customers for over 115 years, we know Canadian. Not only are we committed to providing Canadian products, we proudly boast one of the largest selection of Canadian products in grocery. We also have a long-standing commitment to partnering with local suppliers across Canada. Our local products are clearly highlighted in our stores so customers can see when they’re buying products from their backyard. As well, product labels tell you when you’re buying Canadian. As one of Canada’s largest employers, our 130,000 teammates service Canadians through our stores in communities across the country, and this includes our vast network of franchisees and dealers who are at the core of our business. We continue to grow and strengthen our partnerships with local suppliers, and Canadian suppliers overall, to ensure Canadians have choice and the opportunity to buy Canadian.

We will always be proud of who we are and stand by who we are as a company, as a country, and as Canadians. A family nurturing families, we are committed to supporting our communities in our stores and through our array of community investment initiatives. Perhaps the most important takeaway is this: now more than ever, it’s time to support both national and local Canadian companies and family businesses across this country. We must continue to invest in Canada – keeping Canadian dollars in Canadian pockets is one of the most efficient ways to protect our economy.
