  • Media Release
    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.

  • Whole Foods Market: a Strategic Analysis
    Whole Foods Market: A Strategic Analysis Adrienne Lee Richard Linowes Spring 2009 General University Honors 5/6/2009 1 WHOLE FOODS MARKET: Strategic Company Analysis EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Whole Foods Market, Inc . has long been admired as an innovative company with quality standards, a devotion to community and environmental responsiveness, a healthy growth model and highly-regarded employment practices . However, the company has faced recent difficulties as a result of the economic recession, increasing competition, and complications from acquisitions . To revitalize the company from historical lows in its toughest year in history, Whole Foods Market must reassess its costs, refocus its expansion strategies, and promote its brand to compete for the diminishing consumer spending dollar . During the changes in strategic initiatives, it is also important for the company to keep Whole Foods Market’s mission and its brand value intact. The chain is known for its high standards, quality, and ethical practices; this image is at stake when any changes in brand or reputation are made. It is of utmost importance to balance the positioning in order to increase awareness and sales, but at the same time avoid diminishing the brand and message of the company. Without the value behind the Whole Foods brand, the company will not survive—recession or not. If Whole Foods can successfully complete these initiatives that include major restructuring while also generating public relations buzz that coincides with its vision of quality and goodwill, the specialty food retailer will be well-positioned to experience rapid growth again when the economy turns around.
