Jilted Metro-Richelieu still woos Provigo

Article Abstract:

Metro-Richelieu Inc. is desperately trying to stop Provigo Inc.'s planned merger with Loblaw Cos. Ltd. Industry experts believe that Metro-Richelieu is pushing for a "made-in-Quebec" transaction as both the firm and Provigo are based in Quebec while Loblaw is based in Toronto, Ontario. Metro-Richelieu stated that it is appealing to Provigo's largest stockholder, Caisse de depot et placement de Quebec, to support a merger agreement between the firm and Provigo. Analyst Stephen Jarislowsky believe that a merged Metro-Provigo may be able to dominate the supermarket industry of Quebec.
