Redbox expands Canadian footprint

July 29, 2013

Redbox has announced a new partnership with Sobeys Inc., deepening its national footprint in provinces across various grocery, convenience and pharmacy banners, including Sobeys, Foodland, FreshCo, Lawtons Drugs and Needs, according to a company news release.

"We're excited to partner with one of Canada's premiere and beloved national retailers," said Ron Cihocki, country manager for Redbox Canada. "This enables Redbox to continue our expansion into new markets, conveniently reaching customers at locations where they already shop."

The partnership announcement comes on the heels of Redbox's one year anniversary in Canada and recent millionth disc rental in March. Redbox installed its first Canadian kiosks outside of Vancouver in May 2012. Today, Redbox has more than 500 kiosks across Ontario, Western Canada and the Maritimes.
