Question:
Loblaw has three types of stores: corporate, franchised, and affiliated. The store banners for the corporate stores include Atlantic Superstore, Cash & Carry, Extra Foods, Loblaws, Loblaw Superstore, Maxi, Maxi & Cie, Provigo, The Real Canadian Superstore, and Zehr. The trade names of the franchised and affiliated stores include Atlantic SaveEasy, Extra Foods, Fortinos, No Frills, Provigo, SuperValu, Valu-mart, and Your Independent Grocer. You may be familiar with one or more of these names depending on what part of Canada you live in. The numbers and types of stores also vary with the province. For instance, some provinces have more franchises; others have more associated or corporate stores. The data file ch04_MCSP_Loblaws_Store_Numbers tells you how many stores there are of each type in each province and territory in Canada.
