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.

Feature - 2025 Live Life Well® Report: Progress built together

The 2025 Live Life Well® report highlights our progress across our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities.

 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.”

Humbertown Loblaws

Products and services

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.

Supplier

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.”

With an expansive network of over 360 dedicated charity partners, we are focused on delivering critical local impact, addressing a wide array of needs, from mental health support and menstrual equity initiatives to violence prevention programs.

Culture

 Christiana on respect, culture, and growth

At Maple Groves Distribution Centre, Warehouse Supervisor Christiana Adigun leads with the same care and intention she first learned as a child in Nigeria. Long before she thought about leadership or supply chain, she learned something lasting at home in Nigeria, seated beside her mother’s sewing machine in a small fashion shop. While her mother worked with customers, Christiana gathered the leftover scraps of fabric and stitched dresses for her dolls. It was how she learned to sew. It was also how she learned that fabric carries meaning.

From field to fork: The partnership behind your produce

Have you ever wondered about the journey your food takes before it reaches your cart? For many fresh vegetables, that journey is a delicate race against time. On a farm, a difference of just a few hours can determine whether a crop is harvested at its peak or lost entirely.

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.

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.
