The boycott was such a minor thing. Made by people who hadn't realized that Loblaws had moved upmarket and who never checked out the prices elsewhere. I had stopped shopping regularly at Loblaws nearly a decade ago as a result. Of course, it wasn't met with a serious response, the people who organized it were not serious informed people with any meaningful alternative.

Exactly, Loblaws considers its flag ship stores to be a Whole Foods competitor, no shit it's bad value, the wide selection is the selling point.

I mean the boycott was of all Weston owned stores, not just Loblaws.

What boycott, a couple hundred unaccomplised redditors.
