Another 586 products will remain at the same price.
Several factors are responsible for the price increases including higher duties on alcohol and higher freight charges on maritime transport, the company said.

"Our Category Management teams [...] [are] in touch with producers, suppliers and agents both here and abroad and they drive a hard bargain so we can offer our customers prices that are among the lowest in Canada, year in, year out."
