Dominion Stores Newfoundland no longer does price matching

A Dominion Store in St. John's refused a price match, and when I checked with corporate customer service they advised that "Dominion currently does not provide customers with price matching for in-store or online purchases." Dominion is the brand used by Loblaws/Provigo/etc. in Newfoundland.

Not a huge shock really

1- Only a very few chains in the PC+ Loblaws Group still are price matching
And
2- Price matching as a marketing tool is going the way of the Dodo Bird … esp since Covid

I am surprised Dominion stores had price matching. We have never had it with Atlantic Superstore in the NS, NB and PEI.

I forsee the end of price matching as well.
I think after Walmart stopping Price Matching - Loblaws was watching very carefully and looking for a way out as well.
I thought they might give it 12-18 months (after Walmart ) and then re-evaluate.

I expected they might do it one chain at a time and watch market share. But if no one else price matches in NL- not Sobey's or Costco... then most likely market share will not change much. Is there anyone besides Giant Tiger ?
