“The addition of Loblaw’s new head office will make Loblaw Companies the second largest employer in Brampton, adding to the City’s already-thriving business growth,” Mayor Fennell said. “In Brampton, new business grew by 18 per cent in 2001 over the previous year, creating 221 new businesses and resulting in 4,500 new jobs.” Source City of Brampton
