Chip lovers rejoice – Frito-Lay products are expected to finally return to Loblaw locations after a lengthy price dispute, sources said. The dispute erupted in February between Loblaw and Frito-Lay Canada, the latter company known for a variety of chip products, including Lays, Doritos, Cheetos and Ruffles. Frito-Lay spokeswoman Sheri Morgan confirmed that there was a “temporary stop” with a customer. He says the company, which has faced unprecedented pressure from rising prices for things, including ingredients, packaging and shipping, has made price adjustments to offset those costs. Loblaw spokeswoman Kathryn Thomas says the grocery store is “laser-focused” in minimizing retail price increases, and when suppliers demand higher prices, Loblaw does a thorough examination “to make sure they are affordable.” Sources now state that the dispute has been settled and Loblaws will be storing Frito-Lay products again. While the details of the deal have not been officially revealed, a source claims that the products will return to the shelves within the week.
