"The Eat Together movement celebrates the role food plays and the power it has in bringing people together at a time when the world seems increasingly disconnected," says Uwe Stueckmann, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Loblaw Companies Limited. "From fostering communities to fighting obesity to bringing people closer, the simple act of eating together has countless benefits. Today, we invite everyone to join us in experiencing the joy that comes with friends, families and communities eating together." Eat Together Day activities will include hundreds of public barbeques held from coast to coast at participating Loblaw grocery store banners, including Loblaws®, Loblaws CityMarket®, Your Independent Grocer®, Zehrs®, Provigo®, Dominion® and Atlantic Superstore®.
