Before the fireworks, there’s the food. Canada Day has a way of turning summer meals into the main event: grills get fired up, snacks come along for the ride and simple gatherings feel a little more special.

 The day after Co-op Student Oliver Bowes turned 15, he did what many teenagers do when they’re ready to earn their first paycheque. He got a part-time job.

How Wholesale Club helps summer go further  

A customer pushes a cart through a Wholesale grocery store aisle. 

Summer rarely starts with one big plan. It usually begins with a text in the family group chat. A long weekend invitation. A neighbour offering to host. A cousin planning a bachelorette weekend. Someone asking who is bringing drinks, who has the cooler, and whether there will be enough food for everyone. 

The value behind every aisle 

It’s the Friday afternoon before a long weekend. 

The value behind every aisle

More summer, less stress 

Summer vacation is calling… and we answered.

Made for summer moments

For Anthony Digiacomo, Senior Director of Sourcing - Deli, Meals & Bakery (and number one Insiders fan), the PC® Summer Insiders Report is more than a seasonal product launch. It is a celebration of the people, creativity, and teamwork behind every item.

Food Inflation: More than a single number

Every month, Canadians see headlines about food inflation. But what does that number actually tell us?

The making of a No Frills owner

Pam Key grew up learning grocery from the inside. Her parents owned and operated their own franchise for 40 years, and from a young age, Pam saw what ownership really meant. It was early mornings, hard work and constant learning. It was also regular customers, strong teams and the pride that comes from being part of a community.

Have you heard the news? Frozen juice is back 

Frozen juice concentrates may be a small category, but when they disappeared from Canadian stores earlier this year, customers noticed.  The reaction underscored the importance of affordable, practical products that help families stretch their grocery budgets.

Heart of the Falls 

A grocery store can be a lot more than a place to pick up dinner, especially in a small town like Iroquois Falls in northern Ontario.

Ask for Angela

Diversity and inclusion

“Is Angela here?” It sounds like a simple question. But for someone experiencing gender-based violence, human trafficking, harassment or abuse, those three words can be a discreet first step toward safety.  

Helping people find safety, one quiet question at a time

Community

Many educators are seeing the effects of food insecurity in their classrooms. Mary Hilpert, a teacher at Queen Elizabeth Public School in Sarnia, Ontario, sees it every day: students carrying the weight of more than just their backpacks.

How a family business became Quebec's #1 honey brand  

Long before jars of Miel d'Émilie could be found on store shelves across Quebec, the story began with a handful of beehives, a piece of land in the Beauce region and one family's dream of producing a local honey that Quebecers could be proud of.

From remedy to retail

Patrice Mousseau remembers the beginning of Satya Organic as deeply personal: a baby who rarely slept and a mother searching for relief. When her daughter Esme developed eczema at eight months old, a doctor prescribed topical steroids. Patrice wanted to explore what else might help, so she turned to the skills she knew best as a journalist: research.

The beauty in being yourself

At the Shoppers Drug Mart® location at Bloor and Bedford in Toronto, Ambrose Doucette (he/him) has become much more than the store’s Beauty Manager. For more than 15 years, he has built lasting relationships with customers, team members and the community, creating what he fondly describes as “the little corner store we all love to go to in the neighbourhood.”

Innovation

Imagine a busy day at one of our stores. Customers are shopping, team members are stocking shelves, and PC Express™ delivery drivers are waiting to pick up online orders. In the past, this could create delays. A driver might have to wait for an order to be brought out, which slowed down deliveries and created extra traffic in our pickup areas

Long before a bag of roasted lentils or fava bean snacks lands on a store shelf, the story begins in the Prairies, where generations of farmers have worked the land and grown crops destined for markets around the world.

From burnt down to reopening in record time 

For a town like Salisbury, N.B., the local grocery store is more than just a place to buy food. It’s a meeting spot, a source of familiar faces, and part of the rhythm of everyday life. When Walker’s Your Independent Grocer™ (YIG) burned down, it impacted everyone.

 A passion blooms for Mother's Day 

For the floral department, Mother’s Day is the busiest and most exciting time of the year. Weeks before the big day, the team is hard at work. They plan beautiful displays, order mountains of fresh flowers, and prepare countless vases. It takes a coordinated effort to fill the store with colour and joy. For Zehrs Stratford’s Flower Shop Manager Krista Dona, it’s a labour of love. “Everyone genuinely enjoys being part of something bigger,” she says. “There’s a shared sense of excitement and pride in what we create.”

Health and wellness

Every year, the Shoppers Drug Mart® Run for Women brings together thousands of Canadians in 18 communities for a 5K or 10K run/walk series dedicated to supporting women’s mental health programs. From coast to coast, participants lace up their shoes and run or walk side-by-side, each step serving as a powerful demonstration of community, compassion, and hope.

Humbertown Loblaws

For over six years, Loblaws® Humbertown was like a second home to Grocery Manager Christine Jardeleza. So, when she heard it was closing for renovations, she was stunned. “When I first found out that the store was closing down, I couldn’t believe it,” Christine recalls.

From P.E.I. kitchen to Canadian shelves

What started as a local idea in Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.) has grown into a distinctive Canadian food brand. Sarah Bennetto O’Brien, founder of The Handpie Company, built her business by combining culinary training with a focus on local ingredients, quality and community. Her journey from chef to entrepreneur reflects the role small suppliers play in bringing new and innovative products to Canadians.

Vishranti’s summit to leadership

Vishranti Pandya is the kind of leader who listens first and acts second. As a Pharmacist and Associate-Owner at a Shoppers Drug Mart in Calgary, Alberta, she has learned that trust isn’t won overnight, it’s earned by understanding people’s needs and showing up consistently. “The only way I can gain their trust, is to provide what they are looking for, she says.”

Style delivered right to your door in as little as under an hour

Convenience is more important than ever now. Busy days, rushed mornings and last-minute plans take up the calendar. And when you forgot to get a shirt for your kid’s spirit day, spill coffee on your shirt as you’re going out the door or need a basic to complete your look, you can now get it at the click of a button!

Helping farmers and nature together

Have you ever wondered about the journey your food takes before it gets to your table? It usually starts on a farm, with dedicated farmers who work hard to grow the food we love. We are proud to support these farmers, and we are excited to announce a new partnership that will empower them even more.
