One of the organizers of a month-long boycott of Loblaw-owned stores says she met with the grocer's president and CEO Per Bank on Thursday afternoon.
The CEO discussed some of the things the grocer is doing to try to help customers struggling with the cost of living, Johnson said. "Customer feedback in those stores was that it wasn’t a benefit to them and that they value this change," said Thomas in an email."In other stores, where customers tend to buy more, multi-buys are often a popular sale."
Johnson started a Reddit page about high grocery prices in November and it quickly attracted attention from frustrated shoppers. It now boasts tens of thousands of members. “As a well-known company and Canada's largest grocer, it is natural that Loblaw would be singled out as a focal point for media and government and of course consumer frustrations,” Weston said at Thursday's meeting.
"My goals were to sit down and to have the conversation with him, to share these perspectives, to hear their perspective and to present that information back to the community."
