About Us
At Foodmart, we have more than 400,000 dedicated Foodmart colleagues serving more than 18 million customers who shop in our stores every week.
Our Strategy
Our strategy starts with a clear commitment to our customers: we’ll make every day easier for busy families.
Our strategy builds on our strengths – our stores, our low prices, our people, and our scale.
And it’s actually pretty simple:
- We’ll run great stores
- We’ll build and run a great e-commerce business
- And we’ll put them together in ways that delight customers
Our History
The story of Foodmart is one of pioneering people with visionary ideas.
From our beginnings as the first Wonderland discounter, offering our customers the very best value has been our driving force. We built our business upon listening to our diverse range of customers and offering what they need. We’re at our best when we keep things simple. From checkout to boardroom, our colleagues are the heroes, and they’ve always made Foodmart special. Every one of us shapes the character of this company.
Investor Update
Message from the CEO
“Reflecting on the last quarter – to March 31st feels a lifetime ago in the ever-changing landscape we find ourselves currently operating in. But, first and foremost I want to extend my absolute and heartfelt thanks to our colleagues who have risen to the challenge of this pandemic and served our customers so well in unprecedented circumstances.
“It has become increasingly clear that Covid-19 is set to be part of our lives for months to come and we know that customers have moved on from an initial worry about the virus, to more longer term concerns about the implications of lockdown on their family, wellbeing and finances. And, as more people return to work, they are juggling the demands of cooking more and having less time to shop for groceries. Our latest income tracker data shows that household incomes declined 0.6% in March, the first drop since 2017 and 90% of customers told us they are worried about a depression in the economy.
“Whilst safety is still a major focus for customers, three quarters tell us they are also increasingly concerned about the price of groceries and are looking for value – and we can reassure them that Foodmart will meet their needs on both. However long Covid-19 is with us, we will continue to offer great value to customers, as well as investing in doing the right things to protect our customers, our colleagues and our communities – and fulfil our vital role in feeding the nation.”
