Loblaw Looks to Build 70 New Stores in 2026, Renovate 191 Locations
Loblaw's 2026 investment will create nearly 9,700 retail and construction jobs nationwide, focusing on expanding discount and pharmacy store locations.
- Loblaw said on Monday that it will invest $2.4 billion in 2026 to open 70 stores, including 34 pharmacies and 31 No Frills and Maxi stores, across Canada.
- Amid a broader $10‑billion plan through 2030, Loblaw is pursuing expansion to enhance its network, supply‑chain capabilities, and create jobs, Per Bank said.
- Among the 70 planned stores are 34 Shoppers Drug Mart/Pharmaprix pharmacies and care clinics, 31 No Frills and Maxi stores, with 27 new stores in Ontario.
- Job creation and network scale mean about 9,700 retail and construction jobs will be created across Canada as Loblaw expands its 2,500-store network this year.
- The company will continue building an automated distribution centre in Caledon, Ontario, that is roughly 1.2 million square feet and cautioned that forward‑looking statements carry risks ahead of its Wednesday report.
