Selling Butter At 54% Profit: Leaked Docs Show Loblaws’ Exorbitant Markups

Recently leaked documents posted on Reddit have shed light on the pricing practices of Loblaw Companies’ (TSX: L) flagship grocery chain Loblaws, revealing exorbitant markups on everyday items such as butter, cheese, and spreads. The documents, purportedly an invoice from Loblaws to a No Frills store, highlight significant profit margins, raising questions about fairness and transparency in retail pricing.

At the center of the revelations is the Gross Profit Margin (GPM), a key metric in retail indicating the percentage of revenue that exceeds the cost of goods sold. In this case, the leaked documents reveal GPMs as high as 53.75% for President’s Choice Unsalted Butter Alternative, suggesting a considerable markup on a staple grocery item.
