Manitoba's Sobeys Faces Pressure to Remove Grocery Restrictions
Manitobas Sobeys Capital is the last major grocery chain using property restrictions to block competitors, following a law aimed at boosting competition and lowering food prices. The provinces Public Service Delivery Minister has offered to meet with Sobeys CEO to discuss removing these controls, warning of a public interest review if not resolved. These restrictions cover multiple Sobeys, Safeway, FreshCo, and IGA stores across the province, including vacant buildings. Food economist Mike von Massow suggests Sobeys may be holding firm on principle, and new competition could push big chains to adjust prices amid high costs.
