19 Mar 2010 —  Loblaw Refocuses on Quebec

Loblaw said this week that it is increasing its focus on Quebec in 2010 by accelerating renovations, adding 25 new franchised stores and converting roughly 2,000 part-time positions into full-time positions.

Additionally, Loblaw will reorganize its Quebec management to become more banner-centric rather than geographic. Under the new structure, each banner will have its own division head.

Loblaw currently operates about 400 stores in Quebec, primarily under the banners Maxi, Provigo, and Loblaws.
