After careful review, Loblaw has made the decision to wind down operations for our third-party, online Marketplace platform. We appreciate your understanding and will work with you to support our mutual customers as we transition over the next few weeks. Please note the following key dates:
Wednesday, June 14: the Marketplace website will be decommissioned, and we will stop accepting orders
Monday, July 31: the last day for any Marketplace RETURNS by customers (you will continue to have access to process refunds until August 31st)
A representative from the Marketplace team will be available to support this transition over the coming weeks.
