Brandt Louie

CHAIR AND CEO, GEORGIA MAIN FOOD GROUP; CHAIR, LONDON DRUGS

PREVIOUSLY # ˜ 19, 2012 – — ˜ – A fixture on annual lists of Canada’s richest, Brandt Louie recently rebranded the company that once bore his family name (H.Y. Louie Co.) to Georgia Main Food Group. The name is a nod to the organization’s start—a tiny grocer called Louie in 1903 at 255 East Georgia Street. But much of the business remains the same, as the family business operates subsidiaries London Drugs and the distribution arm for IGA, among others. In a year that saw the shuttering of 10 Safeway stores in the province, business as usual is probably a good thing.
