Loblaw’s says it’s ready to roll out Everydayliving. There’s a news release here. Some of this looks a little warmed over because it’s all about Joe Mimran’s prevously-announced tent-like consumer product thrust. It contains everything from photofinishing to jogging togs. Truly a big-top. As stated, Loblaws announcement seems to precursor a grocery store that wants to eat the world. And they’re joining a lot of other stores that want to eat the world. You doubt us? Well, there’s Target, Walmart, Costco, Shoppers Drug Mart and of course Loblaws. There are no doubt more. It may be difficult to keep things straight. Will Loblaws have Chanel scents beside the poultry? Will they sell you a shirt at Shoppers? Tartar sauce at Target? Please don’t worry about such things. Retailers just don’t believe in staying focused anymore.
