Loblaws
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the Ontario/Quebec supermarket chain. For other banners owned by its parent company, see Loblaw Companies.
Loblaws is a supermarket chain of 68 stores, headquartered in Brampton, with stores across Ontario and Quebec. Loblaws is a division of Loblaw Companies Limited, Canada's largest food distributor.
Loblaws stores used to be located across Canada, until the early 1960s when most were renamed SuperValu and, later as Real Canadian Superstore. They also used to operate stores in upstate New York and Pennsylvania. The chain also had a few stores with its own name in Western NY State. These were sold to Bells Markets in the mid 1970s.
The largest Loblaws in Canada is located in the Barrhaven community of Ottawa, Ontario.[citation needed]
Actor William Shatner did a number of television commercials for Loblaws in the 1970s, and would finish the ad spots by saying, "By gosh, the price is right".
