Canadians Flock To Smaller Grocery Stores As Loblaws Boycott Continues Across Canada
Shoppers are visiting a small grocery store in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on May 11, 2024. Canadians are choosing smaller grocery stores as the boycott against Loblaws continues across the country. The boycott against the Canadian grocery retail corporation Loblaw and its supermarkets started on May 1, 2024, and was organized by a Reddit community. It has since spread nationally, involving thousands of Canadians who are accusing Loblaw of corporate greed practices such as greedflation and price gouging. This comes after the corporation recorded major profits while significantly raising grocery prices. The Reddit community that initiated the boycott has grown to over 60,000 members as of May 1st.
