Longo's

We’re proud to celebrate the incredible achievements of two outstanding Longo’s leaders at this year’s Canadian Grocer Star Women in Grocery Awards. Congratulations to Cindy deSousa, PMP, Project Manager, for being recognized in the Shining Level category, and Diane Vallecorsa, Store Manager at Ponytrail, for receiving the award in the Store Level category. The event was kicked off by an inspiring keynote from Deb Craven, President of Longo’s, setting the tone for a morning dedicated to recognizing the remarkable women shaping the grocery industry. Congratulations, Cindy and Diane, on this well-deserved recognition. Your passion, leadership, and commitment to excellence make a difference across our business and in the communities we serve. We are so proud to have you representing Longo's.

We're thrilled to sponsor and celebrate the opening of the Fieldgate Sports Complex in Whitby. Supporting the communities we serve is at the heart of Longo's, and we're honoured to be part of a space that will bring together athletes, families, and community members for many years to come. Located just across from our Brooklin store, this partnership is especially meaningful to our team. From arena signage to our custom Longo's Zamboni, that keeps the ice as fresh as our food, we're excited to be part of the action both on and off the ice. Congratulations to the Town of Whitby and everyone involved in bringing this incredible community space to life!

Our 70th anniversary celebrations continue, and we're taking the opportunity to recognize the valued partners who have helped support our journey.

Whether they’re picking up a few things for dinner or doing the weekly shop, Canadians are looking for quality, selection and value. When they choose to buy Canadian, they should still find all three.  After more than 115 years of serving Canadians, we know that when customers shop with us, value is part of what they expect, alongside quality and selection. I am so proud of the partnerships we have with our suppliers, providing our customers with everyday value, promotions and deals across our stores. As more Canadians look to buy local and Canadian, we’ll continue these partnerships so they can make the choices that work for them and their families across the banners they know and trust.  We hope that Canadians continue to support Canadian businesses so we can invest and partner with even more great companies across this country.  *** Qu’il s’agisse d’acheter quelques ingrédients pour le souper ou de faire l’épicerie de la semaine, les Canadiens et les Canadiennes recherchent la qualité, un large éventail de produits et des prix abordables. En voulant privilégier les produits canadiens, ils devraient pouvoir compter sur ces trois éléments. Après plus de 115 ans au service des Canadiens et des Canadiennes, nous savons que lorsque les clients magasinent chez nous, ils s’attendent non seulement à la qualité et à un vaste choix, mais aussi à un bon rapport qualité-prix. Je suis très fier des partenariats que nous avons établis avec nos fournisseurs, qui nous permettent d’offrir à nos clients des prix avantageux chaque jour, ainsi que des promotions et des rabais dans tous nos magasins. Alors que plus de Canadiens et de Canadiennes cherchent à acheter des produits locaux et canadiens, nous continuerons de miser sur ces partenariats afin que nos clients puissent avoir le plus de choix possible, pour eux et leur famille, dans les bannières qu’ils connaissent et en lesquelles ils ont confiance. Nous espérons que les Canadiens et les Canadiennes continueront d’appuyer les entreprises canadiennes afin que nous puissions investir et établir des partenariats avec encore plus d’entreprises exceptionnelles partout au pays.

When Canadians choose to shop with Empire’s family of brands, they're doing more than filling their carts. They're helping reinvest in Canada. As I’ve said before, as a proud Canadian company serving our customers for over 115 years, we know Canadian. That's why our Buy Canada commitment is about much more than labels on a shelf. It's about developing Canadian products, building long-term partnerships with suppliers, supporting family-owned businesses through our franchise and dealer network, and creating opportunities throughout the Canadian supply chain – all in the name of providing value to customers. For every dollar Canadians spend with us, we're proud to reinvest in Canada by working with local businesses deeply connected to their communities; creating local jobs, supporting local causes, and giving our customers more opportunities to buy Canadian. Canada remains our sole focus, guiding where we invest, innovate, and create lasting impact. Buying Canadian isn't just about where a product comes from. It's about where the benefits stay, and continuing to invest in Canada means keeping Canadian dollars in Canadian pockets and reinvesting in Canadian people, communities and growth—something we can all be proud to be part of. ... Lorsque les Canadiens et les Canadiennes choisissent de faire leurs achats dans les différentes bannières d’Empire, ils ne se contentent pas simplement de remplir leur panier. Ils contribuent à réinvestir au Canada. Comme je l’ai déjà souligné, Empire est une entreprise fièrement canadienne qui sert ses clients depuis plus de 115 ans et qui comprend ce qui compte pour les gens d'ici. C’est pourquoi notre engagement à acheter canadien va bien au-delà des étiquettes sur les tablettes. Pour nous, cela signifie développer des produits, établir des partenariats à long terme avec des fournisseurs locaux, soutenir les entreprises familiales grâce à notre réseau de franchisés et de marchands affiliés, et créer des occasions dans l’ensemble de la chaîne d’approvisionnement canadienne. Tout cela dans le but d’offrir une valeur ajoutée à nos clients. Chaque dollar dépensé dans nos bannières nous aide à continuer d’investir exclusivement au Canada en collaborant avec des entreprises ancrées dans leur communauté, en créant des emplois, en soutenant des causes locales et en offrant à nos clients davantage d’occasions d’acheter des produits canadiens. Le Canada est au cœur de nos décisions d’investissement, de nos initiatives d’innovation et de notre volonté de générer des retombées durables. Acheter canadien ne se résume pas à savoir d’où provient un produit. Il s’agit de s’assurer que les Canadiens et les Canadiennes bénéficient des retombées économiques. Continuer d’investir au Canada, c’est garder les dollars canadiens dans les poches des gens d’ici et réinvestir dans les collectivités et la croissance du pays. Une contribution dont nous pouvons tous être fiers.
