More competition is headed our way. It’s not a secret that our competition is going through a large expansion. Save-On-Foods is planning to open 40 stores here in Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

Customers have more shopping options than ever before with No Frills and Real Canadian Super Stores as well as Costco and Walmart Supercentres.

One of the challenges our stores face is high operating costs – we have some of the highest in the industry. We need to get these costs in line so we can be in a position of strength to fight back our competitors and ensure stable jobs for our hard working people.

This Monday, January 29, we’re back at the table with UFCW 832 to work together to ensure we can provide good, stable jobs for our valued team members just like you.

We’ll share another update with you on www.safewaytalks.ca next week.
