Does Provigo sell Loblaws President's Choice products ? Loblaws bought Provigo in 1998. It was a very good acquisition for them, since Provigo was selling at a P/E of about 10. I was surprised that the PQ government allowed a Quebec based chain to be sold to an English canadian company. The Quebec Government through the Caisse De Depot intervened to allow Quebecor to buy Videotron. The Caisse took a huge writedown on its investment. How are the retail chains like San Francisco doing in Quebec? I remember Pantorama when I was younger being popular. regards Demetre
