People

Community

What makes a store a true pillar in the community? It’s more than just the products on the shelves. It’s the people inside and the connections they build with their neighbours. It’s about being a reliable partner, a helping hand, and a place people can count on. This year, we are proud to celebrate the stores that live this spirit every day with the Feed More Families™ Champions Awards.

Culture

Looking back at 2025, we’re celebrating a year of bold moves, inspiring journeys, and meaningful impact. From supporting Canadian businesses to spotlighting our team members’ accomplishments, here are some of the top stories from the year:

Elevating care through compounding

Health and wellness

Ten years ago, a big idea started small. Pharmacist-Owner Mahmoud El-Achkar worked with two bright pharmacy students, Issam Merrouni and Mohamed Jetha, at his pharmacy in Laval, QC and together dreamed of doing something different: building a business focused on compounding medications.

In Creemore, Ontario, great dairy starts with the Miller family. Since 1959, they have built a brand Canadians love, growing from a small farm into a community favourite defined by quality, ethical farming, and a commitment to doing things the right way.

Products and services

Have you ever picked up a new PC® product and wondered, "How did they think of this?" It's not magic, but it feels close! We work hard to make PC products that taste great and are easy to buy at good prices. Let's see how it all happens.

Sending love home, one Box at a Time

In Etobicoke, Ontario, Emiliano and Ana’s No Frills does more than sell groceries; they send love across oceans, one special box at a time. Their big hearts and support have been bringing the unique Balikbayan box program to customers. These aren't just boxes; they're packages of love, connecting families in Canada to the Philippines.

Sending love home, one box at a time

Danni Pearce

In my first six months, I’ve had the opportunity to travel across Canada, connecting with growers, makers, and colleagues — from the orchards of Niagara to the wide-open fields of Saskatchewan to the vibrant markets and seafood producers of Halifax. I’ve walked through farms, toured production facilities, and spent time in our stores.

On the road with Danni: Good food, great partnerships

  Enabling the future of pharmacy

Pharmacies are evolving, transforming from places that just dispense medicine into vital hubs for your health. This notable shift means pharmacists are now key players in your health and wellness journey, offering more care than ever before.

Bringing on-demand groceries to 8 million Canadians

In today’s fast-paced world, convenience isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity. Loblaw continues to evolve to help Canadians “Live Life Well”, and one service at the centre of that effort is PC Express™ Rapid Delivery. Offered in partnership with DoorDash, Rapid Delivery has become a cornerstone of Loblaw’s digital strategy and a key part of how we make everyday life easier since its launch in 2022.

Jaylynn’s connection beyond words

Jaylynn initially joined Real Canadian Superstore® through a temporary placement as part of a public-school transition program that supports youth with disabilities entering the workforce. With the guidance of a mentor who used sign language during training, Jaylynn quickly showed dedication, earning a permanent role. Starting in the deli, Jaylynn initially struggled with the fast pace and continuous communication, as she was more accustomed to expressing herself through American Sign Language. But her colleagues adapted. Realizing verbal instructions weren't effective, they shifted to hands-on training.

From bite to bright idea

What started as a simple team lunch can sometimes spark the biggest ideas! Not long ago, the Home Meal Replacement (HMR) team was enjoying some tasty Shanghai noodles for lunch. As they savoured each bite, a light bulb went on. What if they were to sell Shanghai noodles in stores as part of the Home Meal Replacement (HMR) program? This delicious thought quickly turned into a mission, and soon, Shanghai Noodles became one of our most popular HMR items on shelves.

Fuelling futures, one meal at a time

In every child, we see a world of potential, a future shaped by curiosity, courage, and big dreams. But for many kids across Canada, the simple act of learning is overshadowed by the ache of hunger. President's Choice Children's Charity (PCCC) believes this simply isn't acceptable. Their vision is clear and unwavering: A Canada where kids go far. Not hungry. And now, we’re incredibly proud to announce that PCCC has achieved its incredible goal of feeding 1 million students annually!

Christina’s passion for advancing patient care

Christina Ma, Director, Pharmacy Services - Pharmacist-Led Chronic Disease Management Programs, joined Shoppers Drug Mart almost four years ago. Having spent nearly five years working as a community pharmacist, supporting patients with mental health issues, those living with HIV, and older adults with unique health needs, she came to Shoppers for the opportunity to help make it easier for patients to access the care they need, when and where it’s most convenient for them.

Talking T&T with Tina Lee

If you asked Tina Lee 11 years ago what she thought was in store for T&T Supermarket, she definitely couldn’t have predicted that it would become the retail phenomenon it has today. From Hello Kitty bathroom tissue to viral Papa Crispy Chicken, and everything in between – it really is the perfect place to indulge and activate all your senses.

Back to school

As summer days shorten, the back-to-school rush moves in. For many families it’s equal parts excitement and logistics: new routines, new classrooms and the scramble to get everyone out the door on time. Our Super Market division has been preparing to make that transition smoother, with practical food, supplies, apparel and services in one place.

Cameron Hyjek’s career at Loblaw began when he was just 17, working part-time at Zehrs™ Conestoga Mall in Waterloo, Ont. Initially a student job, it quickly became a meaningful foundation for his professional journey. Working in-store taught Cameron the essentials of customer service, operations, and teamwork—skills he continues to leverage today. Reflecting on his beginnings, Cameron notes, “I wouldn't be where I am today without the opportunities given to me at Zehrs Conestoga.”

Imagine stepping into a prom boutique where every dress sparkles with possibility, and every suit promises a night of celebration—all without a price tag. That's exactly what Zehrs® Stanley Park in Kitchener, Ontario brought to life with their recent prom donation event. Inspired by a group of parents who had been running a similar event for years at a local mall, the team at Zehrs decided to create an opportunity for students to receive an outfit for prom at no cost to the family.

Darcy on knowledge and Indigenous connections 

A photo of a medicine wheel, which is very sacred in indigenous culture

Darcy Scott

Darcy Scott, VP, Distribution Operations, Western Canada, has a story about connection and the power of knowledge. Born with a mixed heritage that includes Mohawk roots, Irish, and French, Darcy's early life didn't have a strong connection to his Indigenous identity. That changed when he worked in Regina, Saskatchewan and began engaging with local Indigenous communities, where he gained a deeper understanding of the connection Indigenous Peoples have with the land, the importance of oral tradition in preserving knowledge, and the far-reaching impact of residential schools.

Washing with Care

Nothing hurts the soul more than getting rid of clothing because you have to, not because you want to. Maybe it’s a hole that can’t be repaired, a stain that can’t be removed or simply because it’s just not as bright as it used to be. But, what if we told you there was a way to keep it around just a little longer or to help preserve it for a new home when it’s no longer trendy?

Washing with care
