I don't know what Loblaw's market share is. Let's say it's 30%. That makes it MUCH worse... Neatly $150 for every man woman and child that shops at Loblaws, JUST THIS YEAR.

Maybe $300/month, or $3600/year for groceries. Maybe another $200/year each for prescriptions, alcohol, and general housewares to cover the non-grocery items. $150 profit on $4200 of revenue would be about 4% margin. Doesn’t seem that high to me but I also don’t really know how that compares to other businesses in the same market.

FYI, almost every single item you find in a retail store is marked up 50% or more, with the only exceptions being commodities like gas and diesel, or electronics, where the manufacturers make the majority of the profits.
