Sobeys appoints Quebec lead

Sobeys has named Yves Laverdière president of its Quebec business unit.

Laverdière has worked with Sobeys Quebec for 19 years, most recently as senior vice-president, merchandising for the IGA banner.
Sobeys manages nine banners in Quebec, including IGA Extra, IGA, Rachelle-Bery, Marche Bonichoix, Les Marches Tradition, IGA Express, IGA mini, Shell and Bonsoir.
