Despite bread price-fixing scheme, Canadians mostly happy with grocery stores, survey finds
A new survey suggests Canadians still have a strong relationship with their grocer — with only about a third of respondents saying their view of their favoured retailer has worsened following revelations of an alleged industry-wide bread price-fixing scandal.
The annual online survey by Argyle Public Relationships and Leger Research found 47 per cent of respondents said their views about their grocer didn’t change following allegations that at least seven Canadian grocers and bakery wholesalers co-ordinated the price of bread and related products for more than a decade.
Nine per cent said the revelations significantly worsened their view, while 13 per cent said it improved their opinion of their retailer.
