With this new acquisition, Loblaws will be gaining quite a bit of market share in the grocery retailer within the West Coast. It successfully targeted to both the westerner with SuperStore and Asians with T&T.

Many may not know that Galen Weston is a relative young CEO; there was an "earthquake" couple years back where Loblaws got rid of quite a bit of older management who refuses to change. You just have to see how much Superstore (Weston Foods) had changed as soon as Galen took the CEO position.

We can all earn PC points in T&T and run PayPass at checkout, what a better deal... will they still charge for bags? lol

Since T&T will become one of the daughter companies under Loblaws, there should not be major changes in operations. In fact, this is something Loblaws is good at, running each company the way it is, without interferring each other.

At least the staff of T&T will be happy for is that they will be unionized and get much higher pay than now.
