Doesn't he own all the competition too? Save On Foods, Nature's fare etc?

Not all, but most. Something like 95% of all grocery stores in Canada are owned by three groups.

It's so insulting every time I stumble across one of these; that name, holy shit. They still use the Loblaws logo too which makes it even worse - the name is lying straight to your face while winking at you.

And then just when you think you've found another store to go to that isn't owned by Loblaws, you find yourself giving money to Empire (fitting name), who owns:

Sobeys

Safeway

Farm Boy

FreshCo

Foodland

Lawton's

Thrifty Foods

Longos

As far as I'm aware, FoodBasics is the only store left as long as you don't have anything against Metro (yet).
