The coronavirus pandemic contributed to the change in grocery shopping habits in Canada. In 2019, only 15 percent of respondents to a survey bought their groceries from a traditional retailer (e.g., Loblaws, Metro, Safeway, etc.) and picked them up in-store. In 2022, close to 31 percent of respondents reported the same shopping behavior, while the preference for food delivery services (Uber Eats, Skip the Dishes, etc) remained overall stable at roughly 48 percent.
