Welcome to Food Retail World !
2007 has been a long and difficult year for me both personally and professionally that has prevented me from devoting the time to this website that it deserves. In October of 2006 I transferred from working as Grocery Department Manager at the Barrington Street Atlantic Superstore to the Atlantic Wholesalers Ltd. Head Office as Planogram Coordinator for the Merchandising Department. In January of 2007 an announcement was made by Loblaw Companies Limited that the business would be centralized out of Ontario, Canada which would mean a significant number of layoffs among regional office workers across Canada. As luck would have it I found out in March of 2007 that after 18.5 years of service with the company I was one of the employees being severed. Two days later my mother was diagnosed as having cancer.
Needless to say my world took priority over Food Retail World. On June 13th, 2007 my beloved mother passed away at 5:55am. On June 15th, 2007 my employment with Atlantic Wholesalers Ltd. / Loblaw Companies Limited was officially terminated / severed.
From that, I am not employed within the Food Retail Industry that I have always been so passionate about but going forward I intend to devote as much as I am able to in developing www.foodretailworld.com into being the best retail related site there is. Who knows, maybe something professionally will come through from all of it and I will be back working professionally in the industry that I miss very much and devoted almost half of my life to.
