Grocery retailer Loblaw Companies Ltd. said Friday it is buying T&T Supermarket Inc., Canada's largest Asian food retailer, for about $225 million.

Loblaw said the deal is for $191 million in cash, with the rest in preferred shares issued by T&T. The value of the preferred shares will be tied to the future performance of the business.

Launched in 1993, T&T operates 17 stores in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario, and four distribution centres —three in Vancouver and one in Toronto.

"T&T's talented management team and colleagues have developed what we believe are the best Asian stores in Canada, which will be used to help Loblaw extend its ethnic offering to better serve Canada's largest growing customer segment," Galen G. Weston, executive chairman of Loblaw, said in a release.

Sales at T&T hit roughly $514 million in the 12 months leading up to June 30.

"Some of our customers have a nickname for us — the Asian Loblaw. Today we are proud it has become a reality," said Cindy Lee, CEO of T&T.

The deal is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

Loblaw's store chains already include Zehrs, Fortinos, Real Canadian Superstore, valu-mart, Atlantic Superstore, Maxi, Maxi & Cie, no frills, Provigo and Extra Foods. The company has about 1,000 corporate-owned or franchised stores across the country.

Shortly after announcing the T&T deal, Loblaw told investors its second-quarter earnings jumped by 38 per cent.

The Toronto-based company said it made $193 million, or 70 cents a share, up from $140 million, or 51 cents a share, a year earlier.

Sales in the quarter rose by 2.8 per cent to $7.2 billion on growth in its food and drugstore operations. Same-store sales — which track sales at stores open at least a 12 months — gained 2.5 per cent, topping the one-year rise of 0.7 per cent seen in the same quarter of 2008.

还有一类分店，叫save easy，尽管贼贵，比sobeys还贵。一般分布在乡村。乌托邦湖旁边有一家。

加拿大华人社区二十四日热议一宗商业收购案，被收购主角是华裔移民耳熟能详的“生活伴侣”——“大统华”超市。[COLOR=#e6e6dd] [/COLOR]

　　也许是“保密工作”作得好，消息从加拿大东部多伦多传到“大统华”总部所在地温哥华时，当地不少媒体人仍大呼意外。大家或打开电视或上网查阅，从英文媒体那里获得确认的报道。[COLOR=#e6e6dd] [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#e6e6dd][/COLOR]
　　加拿大国家电视台“CBC”和《多伦多星报》等传媒报道称，本国最大的超市连锁集团“Loblaw” 今天宣布，以二点二五亿加元的价格收购著名华人超市“大统华”，其中一点九一亿元是支付现金，其余用“Loblaw”集团股票支付。“Loblaw”集团主席韦斯顿“非常满意”这次收购行动，认为“大统华”拥有极富才华的管理团队和雇员，是加拿大发展最佳的亚洲超市连锁集团，对于“Loblaw”进一步加强多元化产品服务大有益处。[COLOR=#e6e6dd] [/COLOR]

　　尽管还未公开向华文媒体发表讲话，“大统华”超市集团首席行政官李罗昌钰已通过英文传媒发表声明说，“大统华”一向被认为是亚洲超市中的“Loblaw”，现在这个称号终于变成现实，我们深感自豪。[COLOR=#e6e6dd] [/COLOR]

　　创立于一九九三年的“大统华”，对加拿大华裔移民来说，几乎到了“谁人不识君”的程度。其发家始于加国西岸的温哥华，至今已在加西加东几个省开设十七家连锁店，拥有四个大型配货中心。许多华裔移民还有“大统华”情结，原因是十几年来无数新移民在这家超市打过工，积累过“加拿大经验”。如今，“大统华”及其相关企业共有员工超过四千人，是加拿大目前雇佣工人最多的亚裔企业。[COLOR=#e6e6dd][/COLOR]
