On July 9, 2025, Purdys Chocolatier favourites hit the shelves in popular grocer Save-On-Foods. For the first time in the company’s 118 years of operation, customers can find a small selection of their popular products somewhere other than main retail locations. This monumental move comes off the back of the “Buy Canadian” movement, which began as a response to the tariffs that U.S. President Donald Trump placed on Canadian goods.
In January, the Canadian company discovered a large spike in sales as buyers began to consciously seek out products made in Canada. This prompted them to respond by making their products more available to customers as explained by Lawrence Eade, president of Purdys Chocolatier.
“This heightened interest made it a natural decision to explore new retail avenues, allowing Purdys Chocolatier to be present in even more communities across Canada.”
As of right now, only Peanut Butter Bars, Mint Chocolate bars, Salted Butter Toffee bars and the famous Hedgehogs are being sold in grocery stores across Western Canada.
