  • 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.

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.

  • Sobeys Pilots Smart Cart, the First Intelligent Grocery Shopping Cart Sobeys Smart Cart Will Enhance the Overall In-Store Shopping Experience
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 23, 2019 Sobeys pilots Smart Cart, the first intelligent grocery shopping cart Sobeys Smart Cart will enhance the overall in-store shopping experience Mississauga, ON – Sobeys is bringing the first intelligent shopping cart to Canadian grocery stores with the launch of the Sobeys Smart Cart, an innovative technology-enhanced shopping cart that provides customers with a highly-engaging, fun and fast way to shop. Canada’s Family Grocery Store is piloting the Sobeys Smart Cart beginning today at the grocer’s Glen Abbey Sobeys location in Oakville, Ontario. The Sobeys Smart Cart aims to enhance the in-store shopping experience with a focus on improving one of the greatest points of customer friction – in-store checkout lineups. The cart’s groundbreaking technology scans and weighs products as customers place them in the cart, displays a running tally of purchases while the customer shops, and allows customers to pay on the spot with the cart. No waiting, no line-ups. “While products and customer eating habits have evolved, the in-store grocery shopping experience has remained relatively static for the last 100 years.” said Mathieu Lacoursiere, Vice President, Retail Support at Sobeys Inc. “This is a unique way for us to test innovative new technologies aimed at enhancing the customer shopping experience and learn how best to make it faster and easier. The carts will also give our in-store teammates more time to interact with customers and answer questions about food and new products.” Equipped with AI and machine learning technology, the cart will continually evolve to improve beyond a speedy checkout.

  • Seafood Progress: Loblaw Retailer Snapshot
    Loblaw - SeaChoice SEAFOOD PROGRESS: LOBLAW Legacy report of this retailer's Seafood Progress prole as published in August 2020. Report generated on: September 1st, 2020 REPORTING PERIOD July 2019 - August 2020 LOCATION Across Canada NUMBER OF STORES Almost 2,500 GROSS REVENUE $45.4 billion (2015) WEBSITE hp://www.loblaw.ca RETAILER SNAPSHOT Loblaw’s sustainable seafood commitment is that all seafood sold in its stores will be from sustainable sources. Loblaw dene this as sheries certied by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), farms certied by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) or products certied by an equivalent standard, “acceptable sources with conditions, or sources making meaningful progress toward sustainability”. In 2019, Loblaw’s score for reporting progress against their procurement commitment increased as a result of their disclosure through Seafood Progress. Loblaw’s suppliers must sign a Code of Conduct that sets out mandatory minimum social responsibility standards and adherence to this Code is supported by independent, third party audits on all overseas suppliers. Loblaw is also commied to traceability for all its seafood products, by increasing the number of stores and distribution centers that have chain-of-custody certication (necessary for in-store labelling of MSC and ASC products) and by implementing a robust traceability system for non-eco- certied products. SeaChoice recommends that Loblaw re-introduce a description of its sustainable seafood program for customers in store, continue to improve its labelling by introducing information such as scientic name and harvest method on its fresh and private label seafood products, and its transparency by disclosing information about its product sourcing through initiatives like the Ocean Disclosure Project.
