Sobeys is deploying electronic shelf label technology (with JRTech Solutions and Pricer AB) representing approximately $51 million in hardware/infrastructure investment across 300-350 stores, the kind of dynamic-pricing-capable technology the scandal page says Ford's government has failed to regulate.
Sobeys parent Empire Co. Ltd. has been applying for more liquor licences to expand alcohol sales under Ford's accelerated Beer Store/retail expansion deal, per an emailed statement from an Empire spokesperson to the Globe and Mail; Empire also registered a lobbyist (Cody Mallette of Atlas Strategic Advisors) engaging the Ontario government on related matters.
