Prince Albert Daily Herald by Jon Shell Quoi Media Hidden amongst the many newsworthy items in this year’s federal budget is a small, little discussed section with the potential to reshape many Canadian industries. In it, the government committed to exploring options to remove barriers to employee ownership trusts in Canada.

Long rated one of Canada’s best managed companies, and with high marks for its customer service, Longo’s was one of the few major independent retailers left in Canada, where Empire, Loblaw and Metro control 75 per cent of the market. Founded by three brothers in 1956, it remained family-owned and run by one of the sons of the founders, Anthony Longo.

The Longo family plans to remain long-term shareholders in the business, Empire reported.
