Creation of 9,700 jobs in retail and construction

This project is a part of Loblaw's ambitious CA$10 billion commitment over five years to Canadian communities by 2030.

In a time when Canadians prioritize affordability and healthcare access, Loblaw is expanding value-focused brands like discounter No Frills and Maxi, launching 34 new Shoppers Drug Mart / Pharmaprix pharmacies and care clinics, and continuing the construction of a 1.2M sq. ft. automated distribution center in Caledon, Ontario.

This effort isn't just about increasing space. It focuses on:

• Making daily essentials more affordable

• Enhancing access to pharmacy care

• Strengthening local communities

• Creating thousands of meaningful jobs

Every region in Canada benefits: East, Quebec, Ontario, West

As communities grow stronger, Loblaw is proud to continue investing in Canada and helping Canadians Live Life Well.
