Right on both counts, though I'm not sure of the actual hierarchy any
more.  It's too complicated to describe here anyway!

You might be surprised at how many corner stores in Canada are also
supplied by the Loblaws affiliates.  You might also have noticed
President's Choice(tm) advertisements for Bells supermarkets in the
U.S.A.  For the most recent year I know about, Bells represented ~$230
million in sales for Loblaws.

I find the Loblaws Annual Report to be very enlightening reading,
though that often holds true for any large company!
