Including their brandname chains:

Yes there are other big oligopoly chains like metro, Sobeys/Safeway, Pattison, but I think it’s best to start with one major chain to see how much coordinated action can affect them.

    Great list. In my area, I only need to avoid Maxi and Provigo.

    There are so many small “dépanneurs” and specialty grocery stores.

    They all have amaizing deals on their niche products:

    • rice, lentils, dehydrated beans, spices, chili, bitter gourd >>>> indian store
    • rice, sauces, noodles, mushroom, fish/seafood, daikon >>>> asian store
    • beans, spices, coconut, plantain, okra, eddo leaf >>>> jamaican store
    • arabic, latin american, senegalese, etc. grocery stores in addition to bakeries, fish mongers, butcher shops, etc.

    Every speciaty store has their own fresh produces from typical fruits and vegetables we see everywhere to uniques ones found nowhere else.
