    Media A division of Overwaitea Food Group LP, a Jim Pattison business Release Save-On-Foods Proud to Expand in New Westminster Royal City Centre Safeway now Save-On-Foods after Overwaitea Food Group purchase (March 18, 2014 – Vancouver, BC) The Overwaitea Food Group (OFG) is pleased to announce the opening of another Save-On-Foods location in the New Westminster community at the end of this week. As part of Sobeys acquisition of Canada Safeway, Canada’s Competition Bureau required divestiture of a number of their locations. As a result, the Overwaitea Food Group was able to purchase 15 locations from the Sobeys Group, including the Royal City Centre Safeway in New Westminster. Starting Wednesday, the store will be closed for a 3 day renovation, re-opening on Saturday, March 22. However, the pharmacy will continue to operate during renovations to ensure continuity of patient care. With the same great staff and management team on board, the new Save-On-Foods location is looking forward to re-opening its doors and continuing to serve the New Westminster community with its own brand of Always Customer First service and great selection of products – including some exciting new deals just around the corner. “New Westminster is where this company got its start nearly 100 years ago and to see it thriving and growing is so rewarding!” says Darrell Jones, President, Overwaitea Food Group. “We’re looking forward to welcoming even more great folks from New Westminster to Save-On-Foods and to thank everybody for their patience during our renovation, we'll have some fantastic deals at the store this weekend when we re-open.” For nearly a century, Save-On-Foods has been one of the leading grocery store formats in Western Canada, with a reputation for delivering an exceptional grocery shopping experience.

La demande alimentaire y atteint 23 milliards de dollars, ce qui représente 15 % de l’ensemble de la demande alimentaire canadienne. La Colombie-Britannique fait figure de chef de file au Canada dans plusieurs secteurs de l’alimentation. Ainsi, elle est le plus important producteur de poulets et d’œufs au Canada. Elle présente le plus haut pourcentage de captures de saumons en Amérique du Nord. © Photo : Tourism Vancouver, Tourism BC C’est aussi le deuxième producteur de canneberges au Canada, après le Québec, et le premier producteur de bleuets cultivés. La province se met également en évidence dans la culture des baies et des autres petits fruits. Elle est en outre la première province canadienne à avoir réglementé les produits biologiques. Les quatre principaux centres urbains de la Colombie-Britannique sont Vancouver* (2,3 millions d’habitants), Victoria (358 000 habitants), Kelowna (178 000 habitants) et Abbotsford (174 000 habitants).

As a leader in retail sustainability, OFG had already established aggressive goals for green operations in every area of its business, and The Village on False Creek is known as one of the most livable and sustainable communities in the world, having earned the highest level of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Platinum certification for a neighborhood of its size. OFG is once again setting a benchmark for green retail practices by installing a Hillphoenix Advansor transcritical CO2 booster refrigeration system in its False Creek store.
