Loblaws Bread-Fixing Scandal, Get Your Free $25 Gift Card!

[dj_rice]

https://globalnews.ca/news/3926527/loblaw-gift-card-bread-price-fixing/



Loblaw Companies Ltd. is offering customers a $25 gift card as a goodwill gesture after admitting the company participated in an industry-wide bread price-fixing arrangement.

“This conduct should never have happened,” said Galen G. Weston, CEO, during a conference call with analysts Tuesday.

“The gift card is a direct acknowledgment of that to our customers. We hope that they’ll see it as a meaningful amount that demonstrates our commitment to keeping their trust and confidence,” he said in response to how the company arrived at the card’s $25 value.

Loblaw and George Weston Ltd. revealed Tuesday that they participated in an industry-wide bread price-fixing arrangement from late 2001 to March 2015, but tipped off Canada’s competition watchdog and will receive immunity in the ensuing investigation.

Thanks!

[rx7boi]

Thanks for the tip! Waiting 2.5 weeks just to get $25 :rofl:

How many of us will remember? *puts alert into Calendar*

I wonder who's going to get hit hardest from this scandal. If Loblaws made the first move for immunity, maybe something was coming down the pipeline and they made a deal preemptively.

If 6 million people cash in on the gift card, $150 million is chump change for the profits they made over the decade-plus long fix.

Add to the fact that they don't really lose with the gift card.
I mean your going to going in spending more than $25. Its like CocaCola. The stores sell it as a loss because customers buy other items along side it.

As far as I know this doesn’t apply to calgary.

The article I read did mention Alberta so I'm curious why Calgary would not be included.

[J-hop]

Read the article, you have to provide some sort of indication that you bought the products at a Loblaws market prior to March 1, 2015.

Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t the first Loblaws market in Calgary open just last year?

Might make that requirement difficult to meet :dunno:

Edit:

They will also have to declare that they bought certain packaged bread products at one of the eligible banner stores in Canada before March 1, 2015, he said.


Actually isn’t that the first one in Alberta so Alberta is excluded from this

I read into that although they are owned by Loblaws they essentially aren’t operated by them and pricing doesn’t carry over.

Plus this is specifically for Loblaws market from what I can tell. It’s for “banner stores”. Superstore is not a Loblaw banner store

You can try but they’ll no doubt tell you to pound sand

Where the hell did you pull/ get the understanding this is only valid at "Loblaw's Market" (which is not even the name BTW, and has only existed as a brand since 2013).?!?!?!?! It blatantly states their banner stores. And yes, Superstore is.

Put down the eggnog, sign up, and enjoy your $25 card

[ZenOps]

I'm also pretty sure Loblaws owns Superstore, of which Galen Weston owns 47%. Superstore most definitely sells Weston (westfair) made bread.

They sell about $45 Billion a year in food and take a "tiny" $623 million profit off of it. Though still, its made Galen Weston somewhere around the 2nd richest person in Canada. Taken from a commodity standpoint, having a pound of bread roughly equivalent in price to a pound of nickel - is preposterous if you look at actual labour needed. You could argue that you can't eat nickels (lets not forget than the Canadian loonie is technically nickel and has been since 1970 to 2012) but I leave that for another day. At $140 per ton wheat (7 cents per pound or so) the wheat to bread ratio is also preposterous if you consider mechanically produced bread.

I get the strongest feeling that Trump actually influenced this. He was already gunning for the Canadian dairy board and its practices, and especially the Softwood Lumber pricing. To bring bread back to "reality" to a more realistic USA type price, might have been politically necessary.

Pharma products are also in the middle of a huge price war. Shrelki, and some drugs instantly costing 100x more could be the norm.

Could be right but I’ve read that Loblaws doesn’t control superstore pricing as they effectively don’t operate superstore so they’re is a significant chance they aren’t included.


And yes their grocers are referred to as Loblaws city market


Edit:
Actually I think I might be wrong on this with superstore. It might be named in this.

Watched globals coverage and they named Atlantic Superstore which is distinct from real Canadian superstore so that’s questionable

Will be interested to see the results in January. But I won’t hold my breath

Trust me, majority of category management across their banners is controlled from the Loblaws head office, so wherever you read/ heard that is inaccurate. I was in Key Account Management at one point so I lived this personally. Pricing is set based on region and banner, so this might be where the confusion was extracted.

Nothing but gain by signing up :clap:

Jesus Christ on a stick. You have no idea how anything works, do you? Well it certainly explains a lot of your other posts.

[Seth1968]

Price fixing is common.

Why? Well greed, but more specifically, it's almost impossible to prove, let alone convict.

Occurring for over a decade, but somehow Loblaws just discovered it in their ranks. Uh huh :rofl:.

[ZenOps]

Regardless, its pretty obvious that Superstore was in on the collusion whether directed to do so or not.

I mean seriously, they were bordering on a $5 loaf for some "specialty" grains. Literally prime rib pricing. Someone had to say something sooner or later, millennials don't know what things are supposed to be priced at - they just eat their $16 slice of avocado toast :P

Thing that is still a bargain: Bananas shipped from tropical climates. Even at 80 cents per pound compared to the 9 cents I grew up with, it is still quite a deal considering the shipping distance. If the banana apocalypse ever happens (again), it will be the saddest day ever.

Everything Ive heard out of their head office is that they are clear. The competition bureau came in and went thru everyone's computers, emails, texts, etc for the last 10 yrs and didn't find anything.

Also heard their new CEO is pretty pissed at Weston for implying they were in on it.

They came in FBI style in cheap suits and locked everything down and wouldn't tell anyone what they were looking for..

Will be interesting to see if the other retailers go after loblaws for lost business.

I used to work for Loblaws in Category Management/Pricing, the divisions we covered for Western Canada pricing included Superstore, Extrafoods, and Whole Sale Club. Its been a few years now but Loblaws definitely controls Superstore pricing.

[ZenOps]

Compensation of $25 is like 7 days worth of bread if you a eat an expensive loaf - or two weeks if cheapy loaves, if you eat one every day?

Damn, white people got screwed. Most Asian types don't rely solely or some at all, on bread as a staple. Arguably it does not hurt as much though, because if you can't pay - just declare bankruptcy and get your bread again the next day. That is the Canadian way 101% debt ratio.

Next up for scutiny, $40 per day parking - although its definitely arguable both ways and I will admit I am tending to charge and pay what you want for parking. Car parking to nickel ratio? Calculating right now.

Don't celebrate yet, don't think the Asian are immune, what would you do if Tea & Tea (purposely misspelt) were accused price fixing rice for the past century. That sweet cherishable Thai elephant brand we've all grown up to savor.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was true... Tea & Tea is owned by Loblaws :drama:

[speedog]

Weston and Loblaws granted immunity by the Competition Bureau, one has to wonder why they decided to tattle and throw everyone else under the bus.

Please don't start talking about bananas on a daily basis and ruin this for us. It's ridiculous how cheap they are and let's not ruin that. I'm not sure why people buy regular bananas instead of organic. The price difference is so small.

Looks like I will be getting 100$ worth of free groceries!

(25 X 2 for Loblaws, 25 X 2 for saveon)

Is Loblaws paying out $25/adult or $25 per address? How do you get x2?

[schurchill39]

I would assume (maybe wrongfully so) 1x per person as the payout is for an individual who purchased the bread between those dates. The wife and I both signed up for it and we weren't married during that time frame so I guess we will see.

[dj_rice]

Sign up quick folks. Its been posted on Redflags so floodgates are open

[Brent.ff]

Theres been talk that if you opt in for the GC, you waive your right for future compensation? Cause I know I've bought way more bread over the years than $25 worth.

The proposed class actions have not yet been certified by the courts as class actions. If you wish, you may contact one of the intended class action law firms (click here for firm information).

So they capture birthdays on there for "fraud purposes". I wonder how they're supposed to check your actual birthday, or if they're just using it to keep on file.

I honestly hope they don't send the gift card through the mail. I would not be surprised if a bunch go "missing" from the post office based on how well known this is.

A smart way would be to send an empty card through the mail with a letter with the customer name and they have to activate it in store with their ID or something as proof.

Here's the release

$1B class action filed. Say they settle for $750M. Lawyers takes half, $375M. $50M distribution cost left with $320M and with 30+M Canadians, everyone get $10?

I'll take my $25 now. Thanks.

Was I being paranoid about the birth date, doesn't seem worth it for $25, what if that info got hacked, both my full name and real birthday?

[J-hop]

Been reading some interesting analysis on the whole price fixing.

The end result will most likely NOT be lower bread prices. Grocers are apparently currently selling at a loss so doubtful we’ll see any change in bread prices on our end.

I agree with others on here and Sylvain Charlebois that this is just a PR move to get more people in the door.

Will be hilarious when they post record sales once these gift cards are released

Conspiracy! Alleged bread cartel expands to everyone in Canada. On a side note, just bought some ground beef for cheaper than bread. You would think prices would be down by now, but nope - Still plenty of $3 loaves out there.

I get the feeling cattle farmers are shaking their heads trying to figure it out.

[speedog]

Read an news article on line that the per loaf amount was something in the range of $1.50 retail. Now I'm not sure if it was $1.50 at the start of all of this some 16 years ago but our family at probably an easy 3 loaves per week means a fair chunk of change went into these company's pockets. Even average out at $0.75, that would work out to almost $1,900 over those 16 years. These companies will most likely walk away with little more than a slap on the wrist to them.

Canada's Competition Bureau is now talking about looking into other grocery items as well because of how widespread this was in the industry.

[ZenOps]

The only other thing in Canada that is messed up is dairy pricing, although the dairy board is far too strong for the government to take on - unless the dairy board voluntarily decides on action.

Just got my "Tops pizza" flyer in the mail. $27 for a 14" cheese pizza, great holy jeebus, that is $1 less than two hours parking in downtown Calgary :bigpimp::facepalm: Cheese pizza in Canada is the avocado toast of the USA.
