Indy grocers to meet here Sept 30 and Oct 1

Grocery Innovations Canada, the country’s largest grocery industry conference and trade show, will  be held September 30 and October 1 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. They call it the “grocery store for the grocery industry” as an estimated 5,000 industry delegates and 260 exhibitors will attend. The event is organized by the Canadian Federation of Independent Grocers, a body of more than 4,000 independent grocery retailers. It isn’t quite clear just how an independent grocer is defined but we assume it doesn’t include Galen Weston.
