  • How Sobeys Changed the Grocery Distribution Game with Automation a Brave New World by Nancy Kwon Photography by Derek Shapton
    How SobeyS chanGed tHe grocery diStribution game with automation a Brave new world By NaNcy KwoN PhotograPhy By DereK ShaPtoN 32 February 2013 | canadianGrocer.com a Brave new world canadian Grocer | February 2013 33 hrough the thick fog of an unusually balmy November morning, I peer up through my car’s windshield hoping to t spot the familiar Sobeys sign. No luck. I keep driving. Minutes later, there’s a slim break in the grey soup. Just ahead, I see the sloping green letter “S” on what appears to be an ordi- nary concrete building. Hopping out of my car, I head inside Sobeys’ Vaughan, Ont., distribution centre. And I’m awestruck. It’s not just the size of the place, which is huge: a half-million square feet, or eight football fields, underneath 70-foot ceilings. It’s surprisingly quiet in this mammoth facility. The most interest- ing thing is there’s almost no one around. That’s because most of the work is done by machines. Welcome to the brave new world of automated grocery distribution centres. This DC, which opened in 2009, at a whopping cost of $150 mil- lion, is as rare as warehouses come. Only 27 like it exist in the world, and a few of those are so new they’ve yet to be built. From the time product enters the warehouse, through picking and pallet assembly, everything is automated. The technol- ogy comes from Witron, a German logistics firm, and Sobeys is so sure of its ability to improve effi- ciencies and support stores that it’s about to open a similar DC this spring in Terrebonne, Que.

  • Freshco Discount Banner Expands
    - Advertisement - FreshCo discount banner expands June 16, 2020 Empire Co. Ltd. announced the next six locations for the expansion of its FreshCo discount banner in western Canada, including the first FreshCo locations in Alberta. With this announcement, the company has now confirmed 28 of approximately 65 locations in western Canada. In fiscal 2018, the company announced plans to convert approximately 25 percent of its underperforming Safeway and Sobeys locations to FreshCo over a five-year period. “Breaking ground in Alberta is a significant milestone in our western Canadian expansion. We have now opened or planned locations in every province in western Canada,” said Mike Venton, general manager of discount. “Our FreshCo expansion into western Canada is more relevant than ever before, as economic realities continue to shift. We are seeing a strong appetite for discount grocery options as the brand continues to resonate with the western Canadian shopper.” Since the first FreshCo opened in April 2019, the company has opened 14 FreshCo stores in British Columbia and two in Manitoba. By the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the company plans to open two additional FreshCo stores in British Columbia and four in Saskatchewan. The company will work with the union that represents impacted employees in Manitoba to ensure that all terms of the collective agreements are met. Options will be provided, including the opportunity to work at Safeway stores within the network or the new FreshCo locations. The two Alberta FreshCo store locations announced are both located in Edmonton, in Heritage and Tamarack. The Tamarack location is a new construction site and the store is planned to open in Spring 2021.
