The Canadian retailer is adding the U.S. retailer's popular youth apparel assortment and will carry the line exclusively in Canada.

During its fourth quarter conference call, officials with the grocer said several hundred new private label items will debut in 2024.

The department store teams with fitness expert Katherine Mason to launch a new assortment for the retailer's Kinesis private label.

Company officials said the deal will allow Sugar Foods to create new opportunities going forward.

Now in its third year, the initiative seeks to identify innovative food companies that currently are not selling to the grocer.

With an eye toward future growth, the retailer adds several key executives each of which have a wealth of grocery industry experience.

This is the retailer's latest step to deliver engaging and personalized customer experiences through its marketing and loyalty programs.

The grocer sees improvement in gross margin driven in part by growth of its Our Brands assortment.
