The Gilberts have been a part of the Okotoks business community for decades. They're good operators even though as D. Sutton says, Sobeys doesn't care much for the franchised stores nor did they care for the true "independents" hat were so prominent under the old IGA banner.
The rich definitely are going to get "richer" in this case.
