Save-On-Foods denies involvement in price fixing, to issue gift cards nonetheless
KAMLOOPS — A second major Canadian grocery chain is offering customers a $25 gift card in light of a price-fixing scheme admitted to by a commercial bread supplier.
But Save-On-Foods President Darrell Jones is adamant his company was not involved in price-fixing, nor had any knowledge of what was going on.
In a news release, Jones says the higher bread prices have affected some Save-On-Foods customers.
In response, the chain will give each existing member of its More Rewards program a $25 gift card, and Jones says Save-On-Foods will seek compensation from the bread suppliers involved.
